Winconfig Shell Folders and Another Problem.

[Dreysman]

When in wineconfig you go to desktop integration, then in the bottom you can choose which folder, for example, my documents should link to. However i need the local settings one, for a game and its not there, is there anyway add it there?

Also i know you should not discuss things like wine bottler,i want to use plain wine so i have it on my computer, but whenever i open a microsoft executable file it gives me this error "runWineProg ERROR: Cannot run program "/Applications/Wine.app/Contents/Resourcess/bin/wine": error=2, No such file or directory. But when i check the file and the directory exists, i have been trying to re download it too but it gives me the same error.

Wine.app that is mentioned in your error is part of WineBottler... normal Wine on OS X has to be compiled and ran command line.

I have no idea what a "local settings" file/folder is though

I don't really know what it is either, I've never had windows, but i had to do some stuff in that folder to install a DLC for a game. It is located in c/users/yourusername/local settings.

You can't add any folders to desktop integration, but you shouldn't have to. By default Wine creates a ~/.wine/drive_c/users/username/Local Settings folder (substitute your username for "username"). If you don't have such a folder, it could be because you are using a third party version of Wine. There are no Wine binaries for OSX; as doh123 said, you have to compile it yourself. Most of our Mac users use Macports for that. If you want to use a precompiled binary, ask for help from wherever you downloaded it from.

Ha! Yay!! i figured out how to do it, i basically placed a symbolic link alias named the same thing as "Application Data" to my home folder so the settings lands there, nice. But one problem that i haven't had for years, okay i actually have never had the problem since i got wine about 3 years ago, but how do you set a default prefix?, i don't like .wine because its invisible and i don't want to show hidden files EVERYTIME i want to edit files there.

it will use the environment variable WINEPREFIX.

So set it beforehand...

WINEPREFIX=$HOME/wineOrWhatever
wine someExe.exe
