Install directory

[bareil76]

Hi!

I am trying to install a software (etka for those who know it!). It is 2Go software and I dont want it to install on wine C: drive. I want to chose another partition BUT I can't click on the adress to change it (it is disabled) in wine, but not in win XP.

I checked in wine config and I can see other partitions there but the software doesn't allow me to change!

Anyone has a clue?

What version of Wine? If it's older than 1.2, upgrade.

Have you run winetricks sandbox or manually removed the Z: drive? If so, that's the reason for your problem. If not, run the installer from a terminal and post whatever messages appear. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal

this is what I get!!

i have wine 1.3.3 installed and not sure about winetricks sandbox


wine autorun_ETKA7.2.exe

Just great. Thought to open one like that.

I also don't want to install files in Wine's drive_c which is located in /home/"username"/.wine...... I also have like bareil76 such partition (my is located in /media/Software/Wine/(empty folder) but can not configure Wine to use it.

Don't know if bareil76 has checked FAQs / Manuals / Wiki about that kind of configuration but all without success - from ln -s /media/Software/Wine /home/"username"/.wine to WINEPREFIX and even tried to edit /.wine/config , but didn't find the file...

I was looking for that:

Code: Select all

[wine]
"Windows" = "c:\\windows"
"GraphicsDriver" = "x11drv"
;"ShowDirSymlinks" = "1" ---------> Wanted to remove " ; " infront

;"ShowDotFiles" = "1"

No success at all. Please, help is needed.

Regards,
NRC

Thank you dimesio but I've tried this before and got the export but when I navigate to "Applications-->Wine-->Browse C: drive" it still opens the one localed it /home/username/.wine , that's why I'm worried if Wine starts an install not to install it by default in /home/~/.wine because the partition is only 16 GiB big when /media/Software/Wine/ is 100 GiB

That's because the menu items installed by your distro (not plain Wine, btw) point to the default wineprefix.

If you are never going to use ~/.wine, just edit the menu item to point to the wineprefix you are using. If you still want to use ~/.wine for some things, create your own menu item for the second wineprefix.
