Create empty C:\windows, C:\windows\system, C:\windows\Start Menu, and C:\windows\Start Menu\Programs directories. Do not point Wine to a Windows directory full of old installations and a messy registry. (Wine creates a special registry in your home directory, in $HOME/.wine/*.reg. Perhaps you have to remove these files).

I'm trying to setup Wine without Windows...Step one already has me stumped..lol

What does the author mean by creating these directories? "C:\" Where is that?

I was looking in the config file for Wine and I noticed this:

[Drive C]
"Path" = "/var/lib/wine"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "Windows"
"Filesystem" = "win95"


So...C:\windows == /var/lib/wine/windows ?

I *think*

"Path" = "/var/lib/wine/c"

So C:\Windows = /var/lib/wine/c/windows

Ive only just started using wine so i may be wrong.
Take a look here (http://www.frankscorner.org/wine/).

Hey, when you execute an exe with --debugmsg +loaddll the docs say that you're supposed to load those into the windows dir, where are those files?

This (http://www.winehq.com/Docs/wine-user/dll-config.shtml#DLL-MISSING) may help.
The windows dir is wherever your c:\windows is. If you want to know where to get the dll's from then either from a windows install or the interweb, just search for the name of the dll you need.
