ok still need the crip's help with linux

[cryofreeze666]

sorry guys, i can't edit my original post in general topics or delete it. i only get a share option off the 3 dots, there some sort of time limit for editing or deleting a post?

 

ok, now that i've actually completely read your first "novel", i have a question.  i wrote down where playonlinux default stored my virtual file.

/home/a/playonlinux/wineprefix/imgburn

problem is it didn't give me the rest of the address, the screen shot shows it is giving me more folders to open after i enter imgburn.  i followed what seemed to be a logical path after i reached that point and there was nothing there.  i guess i should be asking if that file address is what i should right click and create the shortcut from.  i was just under the impression, that it would be a click fest since you made a point of saying how people liked that better.  it seemed like from your directions that window should have closed if i did it the way you said using the configure tab of play. 

 

oh yeah, when i get to imgburn in the address, it gives me the choices of dosdevices or drive c.  did i miss something else in the read that should have installed the virtual drive there?

 

oh if you hadn't guessed, i'm in approximately my 3rd month of using linux kernal.

After you create the new 'wine prefix' (which in your case is the "ImgBurn" folder before 'drive_c') you then install ImgBurn (i.e. "SetupImgBurn_2.5.8.0.exe") into that prefix like usual. my actual ImgBurn program is installed to, for example... "~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/ImgBurn_32bit601/drive_c/Program Files/ImgBurn/ImgBurn.exe" (I am using 32-bit wine prefix so that's why it's 'Program Files' instead of 'Program Files (x86)' etc like the 64-bit stuff would be. either 32bit or 64bit should be okay though). basically from the "drive_c" (which is equivalent to "C:\" on real windows) it's exactly like the Windows folder structure at that point.

so basically my 'ImgBurn_32bit601' is the same as your 'ImgBurn' folder in your screenshot. but once you setup the wine prefix you still need to install ImgBurn INTO that prefix before you can even attempt to run the program as all the 'wine prefix' does is pretty much like a windows installation is installed. but you still need to install your Windows program (i.e. imgburn) into that though before you can use it.

trust me, this is easier than it may appear to you

p.s. I also have a desktop shortcut since it makes starting it nice and easy that way.
