Multiple users on WINE

Post by rgamalho »

Good morning. I am Brazilian and I have a lot of time tracking the development of WINE. It's amazing what we can do with it ... But I'm having trouble configuring it. I have a domain network with 2003 server and use openSUSE as a client. The problem is the WINE configuration creates the folder with the installation of programs in the folder "/ home / <username>", which prevents other users can use the same programs, unless they were again installed, which would mean that we facilities varies from the same program on the machine. You can work around this problem without having to create multiple copies of the program as suggested in "http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-f54d469 ... 0167919859"?

Thank you!

Wineprefixes can't be shared, but programs don't have to be installed to the default location in the wineprefix. Assuming the installer allows you to select the location of the program directory (most do), you can change that when you run it to a location accessible by all users, just as you would on Windows. You will, however, have to run the installer for each user for the necessary registry entries to be created.
