Wine and WinNT wine.conf dumb question

Hi,

I've just installed Wine 20010305 on a box with SuSE 7.1 (kernel 2.4.2) and
Win NT4.0.  I previously ran wine with no problems under SuSE 7.0.  Now when
I try to start wine I get the error:

Invalid path 'C:\winnt' for windows directory: does not exist.

This is using the same wine.conf file as before.  Here are the relevant
lines from the wine.conf file:

[Drive C]
"Type" = "hd"
"Path" = "/windows/c"
"Label" = "/windows/c"
"FS" = "win95"

[wine]
"Windows" = "C:\\winnt"
"System" = "C:\\winnt\\system"
"Path" = "C:\\winnt;C:\\winnt\\system;E:\\;X:\\;Y:\\"
"Profile" = "C:\\winnt\\Profiles\\Default User"

The relevant line in the fstab is:

/dev/hda1    /windows/c    ntfs    rw,user,umask=0000 0 0

I can cd to /windows/c/winnt and ls the contents with no problem.  Does
anyone have any suggestions.  I have tried running wineinstall and wineconf
with no luck, but Winesetuptk finds my windows directories and agrees with
what I have above.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Mark
