Probably no. Reinstall of application in clean WINE is typically useful only if you already catch a regression and need to make sure that this regression is reproducible with clean WINE. If you have no problems there is no point in reinstalling all your applications. If you need a simple way to find out if any particular problem is reproducible with clean WINE it is good idea to create separate wine prefix directory like this: WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.tmp wineprefixcreate Then you can install your application where you think you found a regression as usually. For example: WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.tmp wine setup.exe You can export WINEPREFIX environment variable in order to not retype it with every WINE-related command. Using above simple instructions you will be able to test possible regressions in clean wine prefix directory without touching you main ~/.wine folder. And as I said above I see no point in reinstalling all your applications in clean wine prefix directory if you don't have problems with your current one. Of course you may miss regressions in overridden DLLs (if you really want to catch all possible regressions make sure that you are using only builtin DLLs). _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
