Hello.

I'm trying to make wine 20050725 works.

As I understand it, the old .wine/config file is now obsolete, and wine 
configuration should be done through winecfg.

When I launch winecfg, I got this message:

Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not 
accessible.
Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system" is not 
accessible.
Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory 
'/mnt/hdb3/home/skrzynia', starting in the Windows directory.

wich seems normal, because no drive has been (yet) set.

The problem is that i can't set drives with winecfg. 
When I set the drive value and confirm (by clicking OK or pressing 
enter), winecfg exits with error:

err:winecfg:apply_drive_changes   unable to define devicename of 'C:', 
targetpath of 'xxx'

where xxx is various values (I made severql tries, with a local 
directory, a mounted windows partition, etc..)

May I get some advices?

By.
