Multiple Versions of wine

Hello Everyone,

I have installed wine 1.2.2 and wine 1.3.29. My problem is that when i
use the one version it updates the registry every time i use the other
other one. Is there a way to stop this?

BTW: If Any one knows how to disable audio in wine 1.3.29 please let me know.

Use separate prefixes for each.

As the previous post said. Just define the WINEPREFIX before you start wine. For example.

:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.unstable /usr/bin/wine.1.3

And it will create a separate folder. you can easily create a script so you wont have to define the WINEPREFIX everytime.

Hope it helped.
