Wine Config not applying settings for indifidual programs

[jbfps116]

I'm using Linux Mint 15, With Wine 1.4.1
I installed the latest version of e-Sword. It worked perfectly with no library overrides or tweaking. Then I installed Office 2007 and added some overrides to get it to work properly. Now e-Sword doesn't work right. I try to add settings for only eSword, but it doesn't work. I add the exe file, but the apply button is greyed out. I push OK, then open wine config again, the eSword setting is gone again. It does this for any exe file I try to application settings. Is something wrong with wine?
thanks,
Joe

Your Wine version is old and no longer supported; upgrade to 1.6 or later.

As for your problem, what overrides did you apply for Office 2007? The only one absolutely needed is riched20. Applied globally, that could break other apps, which is why a separate wineprefix is recommended for Office in the AppDB howto. However, it shouldn't break winecfg, so my guess is you added something else.

My suggestion is that after upgrading you reinstall Office 2007 and e-Sword to clean, separate wineprefixes following the instructions in their respective AppDB entries.

For Librarys to make Office work, including Onenote, I used gdiplus, msxml3, riched20 and 32, rpcrt4. My other computer has the same config and it works fine. I guess I can try upgrading wine, but I don't see why it won't keep my settings for other programs. My application settings always erase as soon as I push OK. ?!
thanks,

Native rpcrt4 is not only not needed for Office, it has been incompatible with Wine for several years (since before 1.2) and will completely break Wine's builtin programs, including winecfg.

Wow! thanks for the info
