[Wine] [FAQ] [RFC] How can multiple users share an installed Wine application?

[Paul Menzel]

Dear Wine users,


could you please review the following question and add it to the FAQ
[1].

=== How can multiple users share an installed Wine application? ===

»Wine is a per-user app; every user has their own Wine Registry, with
the list of installed apps for that user.

So one user installing App A is not going to tell the Wine Registry of
any other user that App A is installed. The other user will have to
install the application as well.« [2]

So this scenario is not officially supported. There are some solutions
written down on the WWW as for example for Ubuntu [3].


Thanks,

Paul
