no need to trash and burn it just yet. what i would try first is to change the owner of the tree. easy route is to run as root: chown -R <your username>.<your username> <path to fake windows installation> an alternate(paranoid) method is to create a user named wine(what i use for a windows admin) and make that the owner(neither you or root) of the windows installation. the acctual problem is probably that at startup it is trying to create/edit a temp file somewhere in the applications path. run a chmod on the app's directory only so that if it need to create a new temp file it can. had this problem with one of the Intellicad versions. if that does not work then it is [probably trying to edit an existing file. make sure that the universe can read all the files and subdirectories. --- Sean <thepritchardz@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The installs created subdirectories in of regular user. > > Where I think the mess up was, is in the installation of other Windbloze > files.
