So use a different wineprefix - just put binaries in a common place, using symlinks if this "binary path" isn't separately configurable. (~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files -> /usr/local/share/wine/Program\ Files) Executables aren't written to, so how would they be corrupted? Depends on the executable. Most programs come with other files that are written to, e.g., ini files and the like. -- -Austin
