Now I really am confused. I was following the script at: http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting#head-978e6a48301465a1694ecc4661956e2a8e547b12 Specifically: Once Wine's compiled, test for the bug. To be safe, we want to test with a clean .wine directory. mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-backup Install the application from scratch: ./wine program_install.exe <---------------- And if this is incorrect, I really am at a loss.
