CVS Invalid path for c:\\Windows

[Brett I. Holcomb]

I installed from CVS today and when I start wine I get the error below.
This happens even with the standard config file that it creates.  I've
check both my and the config file and can't find any errors.  I'm
including the c drive part of the config file.

Any ideas why this is telling me this?

Thanks.

Error:

Invalid path L"c:\Windows" for L"windows" directory: does not exist.
Perhaps you have not properly edited your Wine configuration file
(/home/brett/.wine-cvs/config)

Config file excerptL

[Drive C]
"Path" = "fake_windows"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "MS-DOS"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

Any ideas on this.  I just tried a new CVS build tonight and same thing.
I have my config file set up correctly - it's been working until I tried
the CVS on Sunday.  Even a config file generated by wine-cvs doesn't work
- it chokes.

Thanks.

Have you tried an absolute path:
"Path" = "/path/to/fake_windows"

Yes.  I just did again and it doesn't work.  Same error.  Something got
broken again I guess.

Path entries from the config file are no longer used. Check the
contents of your ~/.wine/dosdevices directory.
