Wine Error

[bossa]

Hi All
Just installed Hardy and installed the latest Wine from Wine site and I get this when trying to run winecfg. Also if I try to install a program using Wine I get :

setup was unable to create the directory "C:\windows\is-OKQD4.tmp". Error 3:Path not found\


steve@steve-desktop:~$ winecfg

I'm getting this message now after following the instructions from the link :confused:

OK I seem to have found a fix .I used this in terminal :

mv ~/.wine{,.backup}
wineprefixcreate

Got it from this thread http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=3176&sid=b7f879da3574d1c1544be97031bfa0c0
All seems well now

The report for that preloader bug says it's being fixed. Perhaps it will go away in 0.9.61
