wine is not fully initializing my prefix

[mark4th]

I downloaded a game that runs prefectly under wine, put its files in /home/me/wine/GAME and from within /home/me/wine i have a script such as...

export WINEARCH="win64"
export WINEPREFIX="/home/me/wine/GAME"
wine /home/me/wine/GAME/launcher.exe

running that script results in the dosdevices directly being created, the drive_c/users directory is created and so is the drive_c/windows directory. this last directory contains an empty system32 and syswow64. Nothing exists in either of these two directories. There is no Program FIles, Program Files (x86), ProgramData, users or windows directories.

needless to say I cannot launch the game application :/

You can try to update the prefix. Maybe then the files and folders will be created.

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="/home/me/wine/GAME" wineboot -u

If that doesn't help, post the terminal output and your Wine version.
