Multiple Users Using Wine

Post by Malcolm »

I have just moved from Windows to Ubuntu. I have installed Wine with one
Windows application. It appears as though I have to install each
application for each Ubuntu user, i.e. four users means four
installations. Is this correct? Is there no way to share the installed
applications under Wine?

Regards,
Malcolm

Search forum this question was already answered.

In short - no you can't share single instance of Wine with multiple users without making it a royal PITA.
