Update process

[André H.]

After 6 month working with wine i would say i have some experience, but i still dont understand what happens when you update wine with the prefixes.
I mean, what happens with the dlls and the other stuff in

Code: Select all

~/WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows

?

Upgrading Wine will not change any settings you have made in winecfg. That's why reinstalling Wine will not fix problems caused by a borked ~/.wine.

When wineboot is run, it checks to see if the prefix has been run with
that version of wine before, and automatically updates any needed
files.

Most the dlls and what not in there are just fake placeholders. The
'real' dlls are in /usr/local/bin/wine /usr/bin/wine/.
