Description Stefan Torkel 2005-01-14 02:53:10 UTC

The latest release of wine (20050111) compiles fine, but it is not possible to create a profile directory. Wine crashes immediately.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter the command wine

Actual Results:  
Wine output this:

wine: creating configuration directory '/home/xXx/.wine'...
wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger...
err:seh:EXC_DefaultHandling Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr
0x77edd5f1
wine: wineprefixcreate failed while creating '/home/xXx/.wine'.
bash-2.05b$ wineserver: could not save registry branch to
/home/xXx/.wine-V8X6Ob/system.reg : No such file or directory
wineserver: could not save registry branch to /home/xXx/.wine-V8X6Ob/userdef.reg
: No such file or directory
wineserver: could not save registry branch to /home/xXx/.wine-V8X6Ob/user.reg :
No such file or directory

Expected Results:  
Wine should have created a profile directory and showed up the status
information or the usage information.

if you `rm -r ~/.wine*` and try again does it still fail ?
