Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible. Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/graeme/ccw', starting in the Windows directory. wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\ccw.exe": Module not found [graeme@barney ccw]$ The program did not run. After running winecfg and setting a drive letter pointing to /home/graeme/ccw the program starts but cannot find the word files saying to check the directory is set correctly. There is nothing in the program itself that I can find to actually set the directory. After setting a drive letter to the directory containing all the files I now get the following errors: [graeme@barney ccw]$ wine ccw.exe Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible.
