error with winecfg.exe

Post by BOOMSSG »

Im trying to reconfigure wine 1.2-rc7 but it gives me an error messege.

error messege says: Winecfg.exe encountered a serious problem and needs to shut down.

Same happens when i try to uninstall an installed application in wine but then it has problems with the uninstaller.exe

What can i do to solve this?

If winecfg won't run, something is wrong with your wineprefix. Delete or rename ~/.wine, then run winecfg from a terminal. If all goes well, a new wineprefix will be created and winecfg will start. If it doesn't, post the terminal output.

I did what you suggested and worked perfectly.
