Hello !

(First, sorry for my bad english)

default, wine does not allow files owned by user X, to be executed by a user Y or Z.

How to make wine just to read and write access without paying attention to the owner?

Google, have created a picassa deb package full working, integrate wine, and run picassa for all users without the usually "wine [...] is not owned by you", i want reproduce the same attitude, for my software !

I have found a solution, but we need to modify source code

Wine does that for a reason. It is not a multiuser application. If you will try to use the same wineprefix by two users at the same time you'll endup corrupting it.

@bilou

On POL french's forum, I told you that if wine prevents prefix from being used by another user, it for a good reason.

I told you how do modify the source code, but it's a VERY dirty way..

Thank you for coming in on this qparis and updating the Wine Community
with the fact that you had communicated with bilou in your forums.
