Wine doesnt find any DOSdrives

Post by akI* »

Hello,

i dont changed anything to my system but i get these error as i wanted to install some software to a fresh new PREFIX:

Code: Select all

Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/aki/.wine-TEST/drive_c/Program Files/test.exe', starting in the Windows directory.
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\test.exe"
I got z: and c: pointed to root and the winedrive itself in winecfg drive tab.
All installed apps runs fine but im not able to start any new setup.exe in any of my PREFIX's or even a new PREFIX.

Could someone guide me through the darkness? :-)

Checked the symbolic links in shell

Code: Select all

ln -s / ~/.wine-TEST/dosdevices/z:
ln: Symbolische Verknüpfung »/home/aki/.wine-TEST/dosdevices/z:/“ konnte nicht angelegt werden: Die Datei existiert bereits
The echo tells me that the symbolic link already exist

Hm, seems you somehow messed up your system. Can you please post the exact command, you are trying to use to install a new app, plus the terminal output? Maybe without any WINEPREFIX variable (simply using .wine)? Is everything ok with unix access rights (maybe you installed something under wine as root)? What do you get, if you make a "dir" in ~/.wine/dosdevices? Maybe it would also help, if you listed all your .wine* folders.
