            Bug ID: 36861
           Summary: wineboot fails if a parent dir of the prefix doesn't
                    exist yet
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build-env
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: i30817 at gmail.com

While the rest of wine programs fail after this, if you use winetricks on a
script where this happens, winetricks creates the full path and prefix for you,
and subsequent commands start working, totally misconfigurated of course.

I also find it a bit strange, principle of least astonishment wise, that any
wine script must start with basically:
#!/bin/bash

export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/Risen
mkdir -p "$WINEPREFIX"
wineboot -i  (this was added before i found the real problem, and it's
unnecessary)
