Is there a way to not persist changes made by applications?

Post by Randwulf »

I want to install and run a program and then have it deleted as if it were never there, including registry changes, temp files, etc. Is there a way I could get Wine to do this for me?

Install it to a separate wineprefix and delete the wineprefix when you're done with it. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-faf9617 ... 522d490faf
