Change drive C:'s path

nicholas.alipaz · Post by **nicholas.alipaz** » Wed Nov 05, 2008 5:15 pm

Wine config has this disabled, however I need to change this for ONE of the programs I am running. I know what I am doing, I just need to know how to alter this configuration option for one of my applications.

I have added the application in wine configuration and then specified the operating system to use.

I go to the Drives tab and C:'s path is greyed out, keeping me from changing it. I am sure this is some sort of safety feature, but I need to change it. How can I do it?

Thanks in Advance.

Out of curiosity, what program is this? Why does it require it?

You can manually do this in ~/.wine/dos_devices

It is maxthon. it needs the path to C: to be ies4linux path.

I don't really see/understand how I should go about changing the path in the .wine/dos_devices
I simply have a bunch of links to directories. How would I edit the path for only one application (Maxthon)?

See screenshot:

You don't have to change the C: path for this, just use ies4linux's prefix.

You can't change it just for one app, only for the whole prefix.

FWIW, I tried the app. Installs fine, needs winetricks mfc42. After
that, runs, but didn't seem to load web pages. File a bug please,
seems to be in mshtml.

Its not very well written not that I can talk.

env WINEPREFIX="/home/<your main folder>/.ies4linux/ie6" winecfg

If you do not put that in winecfg will look for the prefix in ~/.wine

btw you may want to read http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=12005
and make should your using the newest version of wine.
