transfer from CD?

Post by used man »

Hey wine users, I have a windows app on a CD. It doesn't include an installer, and i don't know how to copy the file into the C:\ area so i can access it with wine. I'd like to know if this is even possible or not.

Wine's fake C:\ is an ordinary directory in your home directory, ~/.wine/drive_c. You can copy files to and from it just like any other directory.

Set your file manager to show hidden files. The directory you're looking for is /.wine/drive_c in your home directory.
Note that if you haven't actually run anything in wine yet, that directory won't exist. It's automatically created the first time you run anything with Wine.
