MAC terminal: /.wine/drive_c doesn't show programs I install

Post by tjmichaelsLou »

I installed a program on my Mac OSX Mavericks and when I use the File Manager in Wine it shows the program installed in the Program Files folder on the C: drive. But if I open a terminal using the command $OPEN /.wine/ it only list Internet Explorer and Common Files. How can I access the program I installed?

/.wine/ refers to the root directory of your disk. I believe Wine defaults to being in your home folder. Try "cd ~/.wine" (~ will choose your current account home folder.)

Did you use sudo to run? There should not be a /.wine ... there should only be a ~/.wine, which means in your home folder... /.wine would be off of root. i also think you mean "open" and not "$OPEN"

I used OPEN ~/.wine/ and the drive_c opens. Under program files it only shows Internet Explorer and Common Files folders.

Are you using normal wine, and not a 3rd party utility? Did you run wine as the same user you are logged in as? Did you install the software in Wine to C:\Program Files ?

If it shows up in winefile, but not Finder, you must be using different users (like using sudo or something)... so your looking at different folders. Winefile reads the contents of the drive just like Finder.
