[SOLVED] sudo wine

I am trying to get files from an installation. This is basically my only use for wine as I know its not a good idea to sudo wine. The thing is is that when installing with sudo it does not put the installation files in ~/.wine. Where would these files be and if they are infact in there how would I view them?

I looked through almost every folder in ~/.wine and cant find anything relating to the program, Guitar Pro 6. Which is what I am installing.

Re: [SOLVED] sudo wine

Did you look in root's home directory, which is /root unless you modified the defaults?

There was nothing originally but I set ranger to show hidden files and it is infact in there. Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] sudo wine

man wine

 You can use WINEPREFIX variable to set the destination[s structure/hierarchy directories]. Why do you use sudo wine? Are permissions a problem?
