Create another wineprefix

Post by slopoke »

Wine 1.5.20

I just tried to create another wineprefix using this command from the FAQ:
export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-wow wine winecfg

Doesn't seem to have worked. Is the command not current?

That should be

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winecfg
(use the actual path to the wineprefix)

That worked. It allowed me to configure the new prefix. No .dll's yet, but I'm sure that will come.

BTW, the terminal notice about the new prefix being created popped up about 5 min. later. Seems strange, but as long as it worked.

Thanks
