Subject: [Wine] Can't Open "C:\" Drive

I am using Xubuntu 8.04 64bit. When I click the link to view the "C:\" drive it gives me error "The URL "~/.wine/drive_c" is not supported." I'm trying to uninstall my attempted install of Windows Media Player 10 but it doesn't show up in the Uninstall Wine Software program. So just want to go in and delete it manually. I am fairly new to Linux.
The uninstall process is simple, delete the user space Wine directory structure.

Code: Select all

rm -rf $HOME/.wine
wine notepad

If you have other programs installed, removing Windows Media Player is much more complicated as it installs as a Windows Process. Thank Microsoft for that decision.

Removing ~/.wine will work as well for this. I think you meant that
uninstalling WMP but leaving other apps will be more complicated,
which is true. That's why you should always use separate prefixes for
each app ;-).

I'm not arguing with that. I was 'lucky' enough to get the 'free'
CrossOver for Mac. I use many, many bottles there. I think that is why
the hard drive of this machine is running out of space!

BTW, the local Mac repair shop/sales place had a sale on External 1TB
plug-in hard drives. They ran out of them before I could get there (and
I live exactly one mile away.) That would have given me many more
bottles and build space. I guess I'll have to be faster next time.
