Winebottler /c: Directory

Skunks · Post by **Skunks** » Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:38 am

After using the winebottler wine comb to install steam, it doesn't appear to have created the ~/.wine folder inside of which it places the windows /C: directory. It successfully installed the steam program somewhere because I can open it in the File Manager. How do I find out where it placed the .wine folder?

.....and subsequently the /C: directory?

winebottler is not supported here.

Wine is part of the wine bottler combo. I think, though I'm not sure that my question only pertains to the wine.app

Winebottler is a third party application. The Wine project does not
and cannot support them. Also, Winebottler uses a version of Wine
(1.2) that is no longer supported.

I highly suggest removing the application and installing Wine through
MacPorts or Fink.

A lot of people get confused about this... WineBottler comes with a separate app called Wine.app and people think WineBottler.app is not supported and assume Wine.app is normal Wine which is... but it is not. Wine.app that comes with WineBottler is part of WineBottler.

And the latest version of that product is Wine.app 1.1.44. That makes
it ancient by Wine standards. Unfortunately, and I mean that, I have
not been able to contact Mike for about two years. I don't know what
happened and I don't want to spectulate either.

At this time, I recommend using MacPorts or Fink to install Wine for
the 'lay person'. Ryan Woodsmall (sorry if I got this wrong) also has
an 'all in one' script that builds and installs Wine and all
dependencies. However, some folks don't like running scripts on their
systems.
