[Wine] Re: ~FAQ: parallel install of multiple wine versions

[dr_costas]

hi there,

there is a much easier way to do it, go grab yourself PlayOnLinux

http://www.playonlinux.com/en/

it is a program that allows you to install and run any program you want in any wineprefix you want. It has some scripts done already for some applications / games if you are lucky.

You can have as many wine versions you want (it just downloads it for you) from 0.9.9 to 1.1.16 at the time of writting and change wine versions on the fly for a program (you may have to delete the windows and prefeerence files just to be sure, no need to reinstall)

It keeps everything tidy inside its own directory (user/.playonlinux)
