Prefixes on network shares

Post by Wooden »

I keep all my Wine prefixes on my NAS and access them over NFS, e.g. WINEPREFIX=/nfs/wine/app-3.10. Recently one of the applications has been updated and now gives me a warning when I run it, "Network installs are no longer supported." This is a warning displayed in the application, not a warning from Wine.

How does the application even know that it is on a network share when it is installed to /nfs/wine/app-3.10/drive_c?

Is there some way I can set up the prefix (a registry key? winecfg setting?) that will make Wine tell the application that it's on a local disk?

Thanks for reading.
