Winecfg not working

flebber · 01-22-2007, 05:04 PM

I just installed wine and winetools. I went and run winecfg to setup wine so I can use it. But I am getting this message appearing, and I am not sure where to go with it as I haven't seen it before.

hm... that's funny. Did you install it with yast?
I have no good ideas, but I would try creating .wine for it :P

Have you used wine before? Any custom settings needing preserving or installations? If not, I'd remove ~/.wine and try winecfg again.

I did install it with Yast. I haven't installed wine on this installation before and it created the ~/.wine directory.

So I went to remove ~/.wine but it did not exist. So I ran winecfg again and it worked. Except that whilst winecfg worked I still can't use wine if I right click on an *.exe file it does not give me an option to open with wine or if I use command line " wine *.exe " it says module not found. Any ideas ?

Which module is not found?
