I'm trying to install a windows program that can run under wine. Now I'm getting an error and wine won't do anything. I've checked my /home/user/.wine/config and here is what it shows: [Drive C] ;;"Path" = "%HOME%/.wine/fake_windows" "Path" = "/home/pbc/.wine/fake_windows" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "fake_windows" "Filesystem" = "win95" [wine] "Windows" = "C:\\Windows" "System" = "C:\\Windows\\System" "Temp" = "C:\\Windows\\Temp" "Path" = "C:\\Windows;C:\\Windows\\System;X:\\;Y:\\" "Profile" = "c:\\windows\\Profiles\\Administrator" "GraphicsDriver" = "x11drv" ;"ShowDirSymlinks" = "1" ;"ShowDotFiles" = "1" "ShellLinker" = "wineshelllink" yet, when I run wine I get this: pbc@PaulsPC:~/.wine> wine --help Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows" is not accessible.

Looks like wine cannot read your drives as you have configured them. I would ree-run winecfg, *with* the defined windoz drives, c:\..., mounted. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

winecfg ?? I don't remember running it in the first place! my "mounted" drive would be /home/pbc/.wine/fake_windows I guess I need to specify that, but I never saw anything about winecfg anywhere! DOH! when I ran it, it gave me a warning that I didn't have a C: drive configured! -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc

I'm not sure HOW, but the answer was to delete the .wine directory and rerun winecfg. THAT WORKED !

Are there directories called "windows" and "windows/system" in /home/pbc/.wine/fake_windows? Ciao, Marcus
Hello Paul, A reminder of what Paul Cartwright typed on: 02 January 2005 at 20:05:49 GMT +0100 PC> I'm trying to install a windows program that can run under wine. Still not sussed it Paul? I can't understand why mine is running so well as I don't even have the installed program in the fake prog files directory. I just copied the whole directory direct from my XP machine into my home folder, created a menu and desktop shortcut to it and away it went. The direct path and command to the exe file is... wine /home/tony/TheBat/thebat.exe /nologo Not being in the fake windows directory I wasn't expecting it to work straight off first time but it did. Try this... Create a new folder in your home directory and put just thebat.exe in it, not the full installation exe file but the actual TB! program executable and run that with wine. That's what I did first just to see if I got the wine command right before I copied the whole Bat directory over. It'll go through all the normal installation procedure asking if you want OTFE and restore from backup etc but once that's done it should work. If not then I'm lost, sorry! - Best regards, Tony. _____________________________________________________________ The Bat! 3.0.2.10 under the influence of Wine and SuSE 9.2 Registered Linux user #316959
