WINE - installing software... where did it go


I got wine running so I ran an exe to install a program, then it finished and disappeared. Where do I go to find the files wine needs to run to run the program?

What they mean is that it is in a hidden directory underneath your home directory. From a terminal window you can type cd .wine to get into it.

Under that directory are a series of directories one of which pertains to your c_drive. This is sort of a fake drive. Under that c_drive directory is another one usually called windows. That is the fake windows directory. Along side that directory, typically on the same level is the "Program Files" directory and a couple of others.

In case you didn't know, in case others reading this don't know, under your home directory are a series of hidden directories, in at least that they don't show in the Konquerer file manager nor under just an ls in the terminal window. You can access them from Konquerer by appending /.wine to the end of the directory displayed on the location bar of you home directory when you click to open your home folder. You'll notice that the system comes up with a series of listed directories when you begin to append the /. to the end of the string on the location bar.

There are lots of hidden directories under you home directory seemingly there are hidden directories for just about every program you run, heh.
