Hi Richard,

Windows permits the user to set the name of the windows directory to whatever he desires. At one time I had directories called /Win31 and /Win98. Not a common practice, but you may wish to make provision for this if there are later revisions to the code.
So the line above might look something like:
cp "datadir/wine.inf" "$CROOT_WINDOWS/inf/wine.inf"
if I understand your code correctly. On the other hand, there may be benefits in having a standard installation designed with a /windows directory in mind, and the wine user then handles non-standard installations with whatever skills he has available.
wineprefixcreate is executed only if the user calls wine without having a '.wine' directory in place at all. What this means is that there is no registry and no configuration at all at this time. So there is no way that the user has already configured a "/Win98" as the system directory or somesuch. wineprefixcreate is meant to install a default configuration for users who don't have the knowledge or the desire to do so on their own. The configuration it installs is a good starting point to be tailored to your needs, though. It won't be touched by wineprefixcreate again, once it is generated.
That said, the line of code you are refering to is not from me. I've only added the call to winecfg.
Ciao,
