Yes, but can't I move config to wine.conf?  If an app is installed for root, wouldn't it also be installed for a user?

Maybe the problem is the registry files.  Can I symlink a user's registry files to root's?  Would this create a security problem?  Would it work?

Yes, winedbg would be nice, since sometimes I don't get the window with debug button.

I could not find it on disk.  Where is the programs/uninstaller you refer to?  I looked for it on CW's website.  I have the newest (CodeWeavers Preview3).  Please tell me how to uninstall a program.

So just run one, then another, and the second one will appear in the same desktop?
I don't have a Winfile in the 'gay' operating system.  Is this a special win app, or Linux?

Nevertheless, can you recommend a respectable machine translator?
