Re: Linux apps from inside Wine (was:Re: Problems with Lotus Notes R5.0.12 under Wine 20050524)

[andreas.sumper@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi!

I tried those steps but I ran into a
strange problem. Whenever I started my notes client in wine, my system.reg
- file was some kind of reset. alle changes, which were made are lost.
How can I disable that?
I do not find any global config-files
on my system. I use some kind of outdated version of wine, becaus Notes
6.5.1 did not run on my other testinstallations.
So how can I disable this rewriting
of my configuration and where should I put global config-files?

Thanks in Advance!
Andy
