Hi list,

I wonder if there's some wine experts around here?

My issue: I have a wine setup here on my Tumbleweed system, slowly grown with various applications over three years. I'm now trying to run some new program (Maskulator, a fresnel propagation optics program). It crashes :(

However, if I rename .wine to .wine.bak and then run the program, I get a notification it is doing some configurations - and now the program runs! But of course all my previously installed stuff is gone.

Is there a way to merge old and new, or to enforce a reconfiguration of things?

Hi, not an "expert" but some apps running here: ==================================================================== i would use one wine installation for each application. if you start wine / or your application (installer) like this: env WINEPREFIX="/home/myhome/.wine-mywineapp" wine mywineappinstaller wine will generate a ".wine-mywineapp" winedirectory for you and your application will only use this directory. (if it generates a desktop file, it will be start automatically from there) if you remove this directory it will only delete this one application. =========================================================================== example: for installing svnetcomfort i need a wine32bit enviorement with direct x9 in a seperate winedirectory and i do not like that wine-mimetypes will automatically integrated in linux. the steps would be like this: env WINEPREFIX="/home/simon/.wine-svnetcomfort" env WINEARCH=win32 winecfg exit (this will generate the wine directory) installing directx9: env WINEPREFIX="/home/simon/.wine-svnetcomfort" env WINEARCH=win32 winetricks directx9 exit settings for this application to work: env WINEPREFIX="/home/simon/.wine-svnetcomfort" env WINEARCH=win32 winecfg set windows-version to windows 7 set "MIMETYPE" do not manage fileassociations set dll: d3d8 nativ d3d9 nativ (all others do not touch) install svnet: env WINEPREFIX="/home/simon/.wine-svnetcomfort" env WINEARCH=win32 wine setup_sv.net-comfort_18.0.1.16.exe start it with env WINEPREFIX="/home/simon/.wine-svnetcomfort" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/simon/.wine-svnetcomfort/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/sv.net\ comfort\ .lnk (or via desktop symbol) ======================================================================================== with one wine-directory for each applications its easy to use winetricks or some other special settings for one application and some other settings for other applications. hope this will help you simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
