hi, everyone, I'm running wine4.0-stable on Ubuntu 14.04 and encountered the following error when I run winecfg in the terminal.
0025:errSHGetFolderPathAndSubDirW failed to create directory L "C:\\users\\root\\\684c\9762"
I cannot link the folder to other folders.
What should I do to correct this?
winecfg error init_xdg SHGetFolderPathAndSubDirW

Re: winecfg error init_xdg SHGetFolderPathAndSubDirW
This directory is only created if you run Wine as root or with the sudo command.... C:\\users\\root\\...
Read the Wiki for more information:

https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#I_ran_wine_ ... _errors.3F
Or rename the .wine folder in your home directory and try again.
This Ubuntu version is no longer supported. Please update if possible.Ubuntu 14.04

I changed the user and this error disappears.
