Wine keeps crashing.

Hey guys,

So I recently reinstalled my OS (Ubuntu Intrepid 64-bit), and since I have done so, Wine refuses to work entirely.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, regressed to 1.1.21, which worked fine. However, all I receive now is a message telling me that whatever exe (most of the time, wineboot.exe) has encountered a problem, and there are likely issues with my wine installation.

I'm not sure what has gone wrong, though I'm contemplating just reinstalling the OS once again fresh in hopes that it'll work this time.

I've removed my .wine directory as well, and use that as a test. I run 'winecfg' and it spits out a bunch of code, then gives me the error. It loads up the config fine, but then won't let me determine the drives. I'm incredibly confused.

Thanks for any help.

Please post the code to pastebin.com and put the link to that 'mess'
here. This may allow others to help you with this problem.

Scott Ritchie posted this on the FAQ.

I used it to completely uninstall Wine 1.1.22 and some files it does not remove. Then I did a new install of Wine.

Check it out. It worked for me though I am still having trouble installing the Sonos Desktop Controller software under Wine 1.1.22 on one of my 3 Ubuntu machines. It is weird to me that it installed on 9.04 on 2 machines but won't on the third.
