The directory "dosdevices" is empty.

It works perfect on my desktop, but not on my laptop,

Comment 2 James Kerr 2013-06-13 18:03:47 CEST

Do you have the wine32 package installed? It's needed to run 32 bit Windows programs.

Comment 3 Peter Landgren 2013-06-13 18:21:31 CEST

Yes.

I deleted the current .wine directory and started wine again.
Now, the directory "dosdevices" is populated and the windows application starts without problem.

Comment 4 Frank Griffin 2013-06-13 18:24:57 CEST

I'd guess that somehow the ownership of .wine got changed.  All of the errors you reported had to do with not being able to create directories.
