[Wine]Problem Starting Wine

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a Debian testing box with a 2.4.26 kernel. I used apt-get to install wine, wine-doc and winesetup. Setup detected all the drives and paths on my system but when I tried to run a program with the command

wine g:\\bridge\\mike (Mike Lawrence's Counting at Bridge - a very elementary program, might even work with DOS)

I get the messages

Warning: The specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows" is not accessible.
Warning: The specified Windows diriectory L"C:\\Windows\\System" is not accessible.


The problem could be that I had a problems with my copy of win98 and added win2000 both on hda1. Al l my Debian files are on hdb and I boot the system with Lilo to have the option of starting any of these operating systems. If I boot to Windows I am given the option of starting win98 or win2000 and I always start win2000.

Working from Linux, if I mount c: the directories include windows and winnt and each contains a subdirectory system.

Using vi I edited ~/.wine/config to the windows directories and paths to winnt. This did not help.

Wine-doc mentions checking the configuration with winecfg but this does not exist and apt-cache search winecfg cannot find it.

The Troubleshooting section suggest the setting the version so I added

[Version]
"Windows"="win2k"

to the config file.  This did not help.

I would appreciate any suggestions as to what I might try next.
