Installing steam to my wine prefix?

Colecf · Post by **Colecf** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 7:27 pm

The only way I know to install steam is via winetricks, the steaminstall.msi doesn't seem to work, at least not out of the box.

I'm trying to install steam, and succeeded, but it installed it to ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam, whereas I normally install stuff to ~/.wine. How do I make winetricks install to there?

I tried "winetricks steam prefix=/Users/Cole/.wine" but that made it install to ~/.local/share/wineprefixes//Users/Cole/.wine.

Thanks in advance!

winetricks steam --no-isolate

It says I already have steam installed. When I uninstall it from the wine prefix in .local then run the command, it just proceeds to recreate that wine prefix.

Probably should've mentioned this earlier: Mac OS 10.7.3 with wine 1.2.3 and winetricks 20111115.

Both are old. Upgrade.

Sorry, got it backwards; the command should be

Code: Select all

winetricks --no-isolate steam
