Try replacing /c with /dev/hda1 (or whatever your Windows share is on). I'd replace /cdrom with /dev/cdrom, too. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always seen the message about drive A, unless there was a floppy in the drive. That's how I got my Wine working. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to try to get anything more advanced than Freecell working.

Invalid path 'c:\windows' for windows directory Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file. This is either /etc/wine/wine.conf or $HOME/.winerc or it is determined by the -config option or from the WINE_INI environment variable. Wine has used /etc/wine/wine.conf as configuration file. I have also attached the wine.conf file. If any one can help me out and get me running with wine, I would deeply appreciate it. Please use "bonehead" language as I am still struggling through all the command line stuff, although I am past the "Help I can't turn my computer on!" stage. Many thanks. Ivan Trail.
