Hi, I'm looking for some advice where to start problem tracking. I'm working on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit Desktop. Independent of whether I use the default wine (1.2.2), the newest one on ppa/ubuntu-wine (1.3.12) or compiling wine by myself, I'm always facing the following message at the first start: Code: wine: created the configuration directory '/home/user/.wine' err:rundll32:wWinMain Unable to load L"setupapi" wine: configuration in '/home/user/.wine' has been updated. As a result the system32 directory is empty and/or the system.reg seems to be incomplete and follow-up error messages appear. For example, when calling winecfg without an existing .wine directory, the message above shows up, plus Code: err:module:attach_process_dlls "winspool.drv" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe" failed, status c0000005 I found a similar problem in the bug-tracker, bug 25765, but there the statement was, that the poster was using a broken wine build with special flags. I have the problem with the repository versions. As I have also read that people are using wine on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, I guess, there is something in my system setup causing this. On the other hand, the system runs fine without any problems whatsoever. At first I was thinking of some library version mismatch (although I wouldn't know why I should have non-default versions on my system), therefore I tried to compile wine myself using the sources of the ubuntu package and the dpkg build process. That didn't change anything. At the moment, I have no idea where to continue. Thanks and best regards, Volker
