I decided to try wine without a windows partition. Maybe I'll come back to it later.
Partition Magic 6 here, but it only can convert the partition into a logical partition and the option to change the filesystem is disabled. Maybe I should try running wine without this windows-partition. Is there any hope in doing this for my purpose?
Yes. Wine does not need a steenking windows partition. You can point any wine [Drive X] to any directory in any mounted vfs filesystem, including /. Might not want to do that, though. I wouldn't want windows apps to be able to get at all my fs.
You will need a c:\\windows and c:\\windows\\system, but you can make those with mkdir. It won't bother wine if they are empty, unless you tell it to use some native dll's.
I have never had a windows partition, and have been running this app or an earlier version of it since I got serial comms to work in September 1997.
I cleanly reconfigured wine. Now I have my windows partition directly under /home/jl/.wine/fake_windows. Under it are some directories, for instance Program Files, Temp and Windows. Under Windows/system are some zero-sized files. This seems to be correct. I tried to run wine /cdrom/autoplay.exe, but the Installer told me that Windows 95 is not supported. I changed my config, so that the system identifies as winxp. (config-file is attached)
Now I typed this:
jl@debian:~$ wine /cdrom/install.exe
Invoking /usr/bin/wine.bin /cdrom/install.exe ...
fixme:msvcrt:_XcptFilter (-1073741819,0x405b0900)semi-stub

err:seh:start_debugger Couldn't start debugger ("debugger/winedbg 134688688 88") (2)
Read the Wine Developers Guide on how to set up winedbg or another debugger
Wine failed with return code 5
And some other error-messages:
jl@debian:~$ wine /cdrom/autoplay.exe

What does the following line mean?

I tried to copy an msvrct.dll from Windows XP and from Windows 98 to /home/jl/.wine/fake_windows/windows/system, but the error-message doesn't change. I changed my config to "msvcrt" = "native", but still no success.
Did you set the default to "*" = "native, builtin" or something? AFAIK there is no native wineoss.drv, that needs to be builtin. native rpcrt4 won't work, I think. The only native dll's I use are msvcrt, riched32 and mfc* - because my app installed those. Seems imm32.dll has enough deadbeef of its own (calls to undocumented functions we haven't gotten around to reverse-engineering yet) you don't neeed more from ole32, FI.
<wine>/documentation/samples/config is a good starting point for [DllOverrides]
I can't find the sample files in my installation (I installed the libwine, wine-doc, wine-utils and wine-package).
