Help - Windows Libraries not Found - Can't use Wine

Post by Riviera »

Hey bros and sis, I installed Microsoft .NET 5 and everything went to hell.
Now every time I try to run any wine command from "winecfg" to "wine notepad" result in this error message:

I have the impression (yes, I'm a complete n00b and I'm not even trying to hide it) that those are files that should go on the wine shared directory or something, but to tell you the truth, I'M LOST. And I want to play Mass Effect again. So please help?

Probably the easiest thing to do is to rename (make a backup) of the wineprefix (the fake windows installation) and start over. By default, this is the hidden .wine folder in the home directory.
After you have reinstalled the game you can restore files from the backup if necessary.
