Could not find DOS driver for current working directory?

Post by Cmdt_Carpenter »

Okay, so I recently got Wine, and after a little while, it started bugging out. Now, when I click on programs such as the SteamInstall.msi and .exe files, it does nothing. When I check to try running them through the terminal, it says,

Code: Select all

Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '[My username directory]', starting in the Windows directory.
wine: cannot find '[File location]'
What does this mean? Do I have to move the file to a different location?

I'm using Ubuntu 8.0.4 and Wine 1.1.0.

That you removed "Z:" drive. Put it back.

Oh. Yeah, I figured this would come down to how I removed something important or something like that.

Good job me.

And thank you very much. I really don't think I would've gotten it otherwise.

Edit: Eeeh...Which was the Z: drive...?
