Where DOes Puppy hide .wine?
 
I have wine installed on browser linux and it works fine. However i need to maually run wine. i.e.

Code:
wine /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program?Files/Myapp.exe
on a normal install.

It already runs and is configured, I just need to run this app manually. Thanks in advance

I'm not in Puppy right now,...(and not sure if I remember all the details)..
But I always drag n' drop the "drive_c/Program?Files" folder onto my desktop. That way, I can click on it,..go to the program I want,..then click on the exe file. I found the "drive_c/Program?Files" in the first place,..by clicking on the "show hidden files" in the home directory. (.wine is there in the "hidden" files).

In my system, I'd have to use this command to start Wine IE.

Code:
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/iexplore.exe
It sees "Program Files" as "Program\ Files" on the command line. The space shows up as "\ ".

I tried it as wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program??Files/Internet??Explorer/iexplore.exe and got a file not found.

Maybe the wild card is tripping you up.

There is no /home/user directory in puppy, hence the problem.
