winecfg adds all partitions and replaces my assigned drive letters to folders, etc. This causes software installed in .wine to fail. How can I keep my assignments. The rest I don't care about.

If you want help, you have to provide detailed info of the apps and the OS that you are using for this.

Please close this post. The problem was Cinnamon and it's working now.

@jkfloris, many many thanks!

How do I create a launcher for "BabelMap.exe", which is a self loading windows file without installation. It opens when clicked directly with Wine program launcher, but I need a .desktop launcher.

Another question please: I need to use BabelMap.exe, which is a self loading file without installation. It works when clicked directly, or with a shortcut, but I need it in the menu to create panel a launcher. Created the folder with the .exe file as indicated below, but my .sh file won't launch it....

My sincere thanks to both of you. You both provided a lot of valuable info. If I have a question, I will post it.

I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.1 with Wine 8.0.1 I want to create a .desktop file which includes the following code but I don't know how to convert it, or if it's possible. The following code works as an .sh file . . . #!/usr/bin/bash pkill -f 'autokey-gtk' # start textpad in wine env WINEPREFIX=...

Apologies for the very late reply. I was under the mistaken assumption that email address change is not possible without administration involvement.

This newly created account was necessary because my old gmail account was hacked and I asked Google to delete it. You would know best what to do, and you know how to contact me securely, if needed.

I used this bash script to install wine. #!/usr/bin/bash # 2022-06-02 00:15 - *13_install_wine.sh sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt update wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key sudo apt-key add winehq.key sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ub...

I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3 with Wine 7.0, and this installation is cursed. The .desktop shortcuts generated by wine don't work, and after days of struggling @jkfloris https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=36639&p=137476#p137476 helped me to redefine the contents so that the m...

I am relying on two Windows apps in wine, TexpPad 8 and Irfanview v4.60 64bit. Their features degrade after a few minutes of use. All Linux keyboard shortcuts are disabled, and no Linux apps are active. The apps' features work well in the first few minutes, and then they selectively fail and I suspe...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I never used WINEPREFIX so I tried: ineuw@LMC203DT:~/.wine$ WINEPREFIX=/home/ineuw/.wine wine iview459_x64_setup.exe wineserver: /tmp/.wine-1000 is not owned by you ineuw@LMC203DT:/media/lindata/logiciels/wine/irfanview/x64 $ sudo chmod -R +w /tmp * Permissions o...

Installed wine 7.0 64bit in Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3 and when I try to run "winecfg", "wine winecfg", or "wine64 winecfg" I get the following error:
wineserver: /tmp/.wine-1000 is not owned by you and I found no info on the web on how to proceed.

Thanks for the help. I decided to keep 64bit apps because the alternatives are not worth the possible other issues.

Installed Wine 5 in Linux Mint 20.0 Cinnamon and it's a pleasure to work with. I use it for two Windows apps, Irfanview and TextPad 8, both 64bit versions. When using either app continuously for a period of time, they freeze the keyboard. I am able to close the app with the mouse. Would changing the...

Thanks. The issue is with snap. It disables editing of files in .hidden folders.

With snap I installed Notepad++ in Linux Mint Cinnamon 20, and it's working very well, but won't open files anywhere except in the $HOME folder. Not in direct subfolders, or symlinked folders. Added the following code, but it doesn't help.

@jkfloris, unfortunately, I am still unable to open any graphic file. When I click an image to open with Irfanview by the context menu, it fails. But, when I search and open a file in the Irfanview file browser, it works. I assume that there is a file missing?
