Use WINE Instead of PlayOnLinux
To use pure WINE instead of PlayOnLinux, do the following:
mkdir $HOME/.wine_program1
“program1” being the name of the application I want to run.
env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_program1 winecfg
Make any adjustments you want and close the config window.
If you need to specify a 32-bit prefix (such as when dealing with an older 32-bit program, you can do that, too.
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_program1 WINEARCH="win32" winecfg
Install the program:
env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_program1 wine $HOME/Downloads/installer.exe
or whatever the installer is called.
All that's left now is to create a script to launch the program:
#!/bin/bash env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_program1 wine $HOME/.wine_program1/drive_c/Program\ Files/program1/program1.exe
or something like that.
Then you just have to remember to chmod +x
that script before you can execute it.
Winetricks
To use Winetricks with an individual prefix:
env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_program1 sh winetricks corefonts
