wineboot error

Post by ToddAndMargo »

Hi All,

I am running 1.4

Under my original WINEPREFIX, when I start any program, I get:
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wineboot.exe"
err:process:start_wineboot failed to start wineboot, err 2
But not under a clean, alternate WINEPREFIX. How do I troubleshoot this error under my original WINEPREFIX?

Many thanks,
-T

It may be possible to troubleshoot, but it's probably far
easier/quicker to create a new one and reinstall the needed apps
there.

I was afraid of that. Thank you for the feedback.
