I just got wine-9.2 for fedora 4. I wiped out my ~/.wine directory to start completely clean and installed the rpm.
I took a look inside ~/.wine and there are no fake windows/dos drives at all. I ran wine without any arguments (checked manual, there seems to be only version and help, tried those later), and then ran winecfg.
Still, there are no dosdevices at all. I looked in the newest documentation and it mentions that there are links to z: -> /(root) and c: -> ../drive_c.
There are none, nor do these places exist. I then created them manually and tried installing a program, but all kinds of other windows directories, like Fonts, Program Files, etc, also did not exist. I tried creating them as well.
Then I reinstalled my software again and it all seemed to work wonderfully. My drives whirred and all the questions were asked and I made responses and the cd whirred some more and my hard drive was accessed or likely written to a whole lot.
Then I took a look and there is absolutely nothing in the Program Files directory at all. Nothing.
I repeated the proceedure yet another time and there is still nothing.
I ran updatedb and did a search for the program I had installed and it doesn't seem to exist.
Where did it go? Where was it installed to? I know the symlinks I created are correct.
How do I get wine-9.2 to create a fake windows system, like it used to in earlier versions? Or is this no longer required? But how do I install software then, if no fake drives exist?

I should also mention that I was unable to do any of this without becoming root. I installed all the software as root, even though I will be using wine, not root, and the ~/.wine directory is in my home directory.
