This might sounds silly but...
 
I need a little help with a silly question... I'm trying to install the newest Wine in my system and finally, after a hole night, everything seems to be fine with the compiling and install thing, but I'm supposed to have a file in my home folder like:

/home/alex/ .wine/config

I have the config file, but what does "./wine/config" means? Is it a folder inside the alex directory named "wine" or what should I do? Sorry to ask such silly question, but their page is too poor documented :( could someone please explain me what /home/alex/.wine/config means? I'm missing out that "." before wine up there...

Here is my full error message:

Invalid path L: "c:\\windows" for L "windows": directory does not exist. Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your wine config file

thanks

Have you read the Wine User's Guide? In particular, the part about The Wine Configuration File?

The config file is in the directory called /home/alex/.wine

The dot "." is part of the directory name. It just tells Linux that the directory is "hidden", which means it doesn't show up in a regular directory listing (unless you ask it to show hidden files).

Anyway, to get there, type:

cd /home/alex/.wine

Then:

pico config
vi config

or whatever editor you prefer.

to list dotfiles, use the -a flag on the ls command:

ls -a
