In my program I want to copy some files in the /usr and other system directories. Is it possible from WINE program and how?
In the FAQ I read:
>/!\ NEVER run Wine as root! Doing so gives Windows programs (and
>viruses) full access to your computer and every piece of media
>attached to it. Running with sudo also has these same risks but with
>the added bonus of breaking the permissions on your ~/.wine folder
>in the process. If you have run Wine with sudo you need to fix the
>permission errors as described in the next question, and then run
>winecfg to set Wine up again. You should always run Wine as the
>normal user you use to login.
Is it so important?
