Uninstallers should work as in windows, but don't always...and some uninstallers don't work on windows. If you install each program in a separate WINEPREFIX, you can just remove that prefix. > - What exactly is the native vs. builtin distinction in user.reg? I got the impression that native uses a dll from the system or system32 folder, whereas builtin uses a dll from the /usr/ directory. But if you switch a file from builtin to native, for instance, does it write over the file in the /usr/ directory, or does it just redirect the command to the other file? Also, what does it mean when it lists both native and builtin? Native = windows dll builtin = wine's replacement dll If you use native, it'll try to use the native dll in the same directory as the executable, then any in your (windows) PATH. Most of the time, their put in system32. The confusion there is that many 'fake' wine dlls, because many programs check for dlls to be located here (poor practice, but works on windows). Overriding with native won't replace the file in /usr, it just tells wine to use that file instead, when possible. If you have native AND builtin, it will try them in the order listed. -- -Austin
