This isn't really a great solution, but setuid wine would fix the permissions problem. But the real question is why are you trying to do this? You could probably do something that would work built out of a web of symlinks... A coworker and I did something with a similarly m$-centric app that was designed to run off a network. Essentially each user had basic configs in their home dir (which were pushed to all existing user's homes and /etc/skel) and the main app was run off a mapped drive (really a symlink in... I think it's like .wine/dosdevices but it's been a while). You could basically set up a "mapped drive" like "x:" thats a symlink to a shared location. Then you install all software to that shared location. Your temp files and everything would still be on "c:" (in each user's .wine) but the binaries would all stay in the same place. If the users understand not to save inside the .wine dirs, but instead outside (use another mapped drive, or symlinks, or something) then the .wine folders become small and interchangeable. It's not a perfect solution but it's probably pretty close to what you're looking for... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
