Remove Application button in Winecfg doesn't work

Post by nick36 »

In the wine configuration menu under Applications, I can add applications and change the configuration, but I cannot remove application configurations. Every time I click the remove application button, the application disappears, but reappears the next time I open the wine config. Normally I would look to the config file, but all I can find about it is that it has been depreciated. I am running wine-1.2.3 on debian squeeze.

Thanks

Are you sure you don't have any processes from that wineprefix still running in the background when you do this? That will prevent changes to winecfg from taking effect.

Removing apps from winecfg works fine here in 1.3.36. Try upgrading.

So as it turns out I had a concurrent installation of wine that was hiding behind the real one and was screwing things up. Now that I've found it and removed it everything is working fine. Thanks for the help.
