Wine install has stalled

Post by tremyx »

I am attempting to install wine according to the instructions found at https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ but i've run into an issue. Everything ran fine following the instruction up to part 4, but when i try to run any .exe file i get this error.

wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\.status"

i suspect it has something to do with the fact that I don't have a wine file in my users file like I did when I tried installing wine via winebottler or whatever, but I couldn't get steam to run with that before.

I assume i need to configure wine or point it towards a source tree? but i am not very code knowledgable, just know some basic c++, so clear directions would help best if someone knows what to do to resolve this.

also, if i need to uninstall files that these instructions have given me, direction on how to do that would be appreciated because i don't know where to find them in my finder to remove them.
