I just got wine-9.2 for fedora 4. I wiped out my ~/.wine directory to start completely clean and installed the rpm.<br>
<br>
I took a look inside ~/.wine and there are no fake windows/dos drives
at all. I ran wine without any arguments (checked manual, there seems
to be only version and help, tried those later), and then ran winecfg. <br>
<br>
Still, there are no dosdevices at all. I looked in the newest
documentation and it mentions that there are links to z: -> /(root)
and c: -> ../drive_c.<br>
<br>
There are none, nor do these places exist. I then created them manually
and tried installing a program, but all kinds of other windows
directories, like Fonts, Program Files, etc, also did not exist. I
tried creating them as well.<br>
<br>
Then I reinstalled my software again and it all seemed to work
wonderfully. My drives whirred and all the questions were asked and I
made responses and the cd whirred some more and my hard drive was
accessed or likely written to a whole lot.<br>
<br>
Then I took a look and there is absolutely nothing in the Program Files directory at all. Nothing. <br>
<br>
I repeated the proceedure yet another time and there is still nothing.<br>
<br>
I ran updatedb and did a search for the program I had installed and it doesn't seem to exist.<br>
<br>
Where did it go? Where was it installed to? I know the symlinks I created are correct.<br>
<br>
How do I get wine-9.2 to create a fake windows system, like it used to
in earlier versions? Or is this no longer required? But how do I
install software then, if no fake drives exist?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><span class="sg">kwhiskers{

to do any of this without becoming root. I installed all the software
as root, even though I will be using wine, not root, and the ~/.wine
directory is in my home directory.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>kwhiskers{
