system directory selection

[Brian Elliott]

Hi folks,

I just installed WINE for the first time and had some trouble getting 
dlls to load until I set the "system" option to my Win2k partition's 
system32 directory in wine.conf.  Auto discovery of the proper system 
directory for wine.conf by wineinstall seems like a useful thing for new 
users.  Would it be useful if I put together a small patch to the 
wineconf program so that running wineinstall will select the right 
system directory for configuration?

Also, is it correct to assume that if a system32 subdirectory exists 
under the winnt or windows directory that it should be set given 
preference in wine.conf as the system directory?

Thanks,
Brian

Why not ? ;-)

I'm afraid that's not the case.

Win9x might have a system32 directory (I think it often has),
but nearly always it's pretty empty.

Hi Andreas and all,

I have 65 files for my WinME installation in 
windows/system32/drivers ... some could be required
by programs right ?
