How to completely remove Wine and install it again

I use Opensuse 12.2. I have added repositories for open community and added the latest wine repository. It does not matter which of the two version of wine I use; in both I cant Install any programs anymore Including the latest Java update to use windows Firefox I’ve downloaded… The built in Java is already disabled. There is at all no other problems with Opensuse 12.2 that works well with some additional packages from the repositories. The thing is that Wine first I worked very well, but after I by the mistake deleted a windows library in wine I can’t get this to work. I can start serveral programs downloaded using Winetricks but not all. I get error message; no errorresseges where there before.

It would be extremely time consuming to again remove and install the operating system (have updated) again and again for this.

Is there an other way to get wine to work; it worked fully first, but completely reinstall.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you in advance. :frowning:

First of all you are in the wrong forum, this is NOT for asking
questions! Ask a moderator to move it to a support forum.

It is probably enough to delete the hidden .wine directory in your users
home directory (this will remove all programs and all data you have ever
used in wine since it removes the simulated C:\ drive so be warned).
Or just rename it as a test


mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-old

Hi Thomas,

You should be able to uninstall and reinstall Wine using the YaST Software Management tool.

What errors are you getting, though? Can you post more details?

Out of curiousity, why do you want to run the Windows version of Firefox instead of the Linux version?

As an aside, this isn’t the correct forum for your question. I’d suggest you use the Applications forum instead.

Regards,

Clifford
