Hi, just wondered if there is actually a huge difference in launching wine as a normal user or root? The outputs i'm getting are different from one launch and the other.
I know this makes a different prefix due to being a different users, but when working with root i am able to access the regedit and read the properties while on a normal user i get this error.
Someone who knows will come around, but if you wanted me to test something I could test if mine gives the same error. If it was me, I would rather run as a regular user, but if/when it's crunch time and you just need it to work I would just run as root and as you said, if it's supposed to work this way, then that's that.
but when working with root i am able to access the regedit and read the properties while on a normal user i get this error.
Probably the .reg files in ~/.wine no longer have the correct read and write permissions.
Make sure the .reg files can be read and written by the user. (chmod 644)
