I am developing a program in Python (it uses Tcl/Tk) under the Windows environment and trying to run the executable I made under SuSE. When I try running the executable in SuSE I get the following message:

"WineSetupTk detected the super user mode (file /etc/wine/wine.conf is writable). This mode is used to configure global Wine configuration, what's not supported yet. We're working on it. Please log in as a normal user and run WineSetupTk again."

Of course I am logged in as root when I get this message. I don't know very much about Linux, and especially not SuSE or WineSetupTk in particular. I have another account I can log in under though, so once I am logged in under that, what would I do to fix this problem?

Bump for you. I've had this very same issue.

you're not really supposed to use root on a daily basis. Only when you have something you need root for. So you should never actually log in as root and use the "su" comment in a terminal when you need root access. Once you log in as a normal user, and try it without root does it give you the same error?

I'm logged in as the regular user the whole time.

I did jump onto root and edit the main config file for Wine that I saw to be read-only, as it was set to read/write.

I switched back to regular user and confirmed this, but Wine still gave me the same message, even after I restarted for good measure.

its been brought to my attention that the current version of wine doesn't even use winesetuptk. Use winecfg instead.

I had the same problem, i solved it by by using run in the kde start menu and switching out of root to user, and that worked.
