Thanks both replies are helping. I just wanted to clarify a few things though: 1. invoking env WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine-1.3.6/" and WINE=$HOME/.wine-1.3.6/wine winetricks doesn't seem to do anything that i can tell. 2. Is $HOME/.wine/drive_c/...etc.. the directory that each version of wine should be using? 3. Are my different versions of wine supposed to be installed to a separate folder in /usr/local ? * I ask because invoking WINE=$HOME/.wine-1.3.6/wine winetricks says the following: "wine: configuration in '/home/weebz/.wine' has been updated." 4. I'm so confused by trying to operate 2 versions of wine [Crying or Very sad] .. not even sure which directories are associated with what: Code: weebz@weebzlinux:~$ sudo find / -name 'wine' /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/wine /home/weebz/.wine-1.3.6/include/wine /home/weebz/.wine-1.3.6/libs/wine /home/weebz/.wine-1.3.6/wine /home/weebz/.wine-1.3.6/loader/wine /home/weebz/.local/share/applications/wine /var/lib/binfmts/wine /var/cache/binfmts/wine /usr/lib/wine /usr/share/binfmts/wine /usr/share/wine /usr/bin/wine
