Well, if your exact concern is having three copies of the same application taking up space, that can be avoided by installing to a mounted drive/partition accessible to all users via Wine's dosdevices. I, for example, have a second drive, with a partition called "Gamestuff" (mounted to /media/Gamestuff), which I always set as "F:\" in my WINEPREFIX (I make a new one for most every game/app I install). During the install, I never install to the default location of "C:\Program Files", but always to the "F:\" drive, allowing the application to additionally create its own company name/game name folders (so MS Office would be installed to "F:\Microsoft Office\whatever"). In this way I keep all my applications in one easily-accessible place, even though they all have their own prefix. There is no way to avoid having to run the install multiple times for multiple users, as far as I know, but you don't have to have multiple copies of the same application in order for multiple users to use the one copy (just install the subsequent installs to the same mounted location as the original and allow it to overwrite itself). Hope this helps, Holly
