for some reason I can't get my wine working, I posted this at another forum but it's looking like this is an arch specific problem.
Well I've just recently been getting strange errors with wine whenever I have to use the file dialog to open/save as, the error I get when the dialog starts is
err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory 'L"c:\windows\Desktop"'. err:commdlg:IShellBrowserImpl_BrowseObject could not browse to folder
When I hit the toolbar at the top:
err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory 'L"c:\windows\Desktop"'.
Then when I hit the cancel button:
wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger... Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\windows\system" is not accessible. Usage: winedbg [--auto] [--gdb] cmdline
Any ideas on what may be the problem(and possibly how to fix it)?
PS: ~/.wine/fake_windows/Desktop exists

PS: ~/.wine/fake_windows/Desktop exists
I believe, your error message means, that .wine/fake_windows/Windows/Desktop has to exist (as opposed to .wine/fake_windows/Desktop), because fake_windows just supplies your "C:".

ahh thanks for the responce, fixes the first error, but the other errors still exist(the combo box at the top is blank)

One (maybe silly) question:
If you didn't have .../fake_windows/Windows/Desktop, does at least your "Windows installation" exist in .../fake_windows/Windows ? This holds about 54 MB of files on my computer, and it should do this on yours as well.
Looking at your error messages, this looks more and more like your problem.

that it does here's a better detail of what it's doing now
$ wine Anim8or.exe
Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\windows" is not accessible.
Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\windows\system" is not accessible.
Please use the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIGSoftwareFontsLogPixels
to set the screen resolution and remove the "Resolution" entry in the config file
then I go File>Open in the program
err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory 'L"c:\windows\Desktop"'.
err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory 'L"c:\windows\Desktop"'.
err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory 'L"c:\windows\Desktop"'.

err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory 'L"c:\windows\Desktop"'.
err:commdlg:IShellBrowserImpl_BrowseObject could not browse to folder
when I hit the toolbar at the top
err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory 'L"c:\windows\Desktop"'.
and when I hit cancel:

I don't really recall, what I did when I installed my Wine (long time ago). What did you do to setup Wine?
Something like "pacman -S wine", editing the wine config file, installing "Windows" in your fake windows directory?
To me it seems, like your fake Windows installation is missing or not complete. You need quite a few files in ~/.wine/fake_windows/Windows/ and I am not sure, whether they come with Wine or whether you have to install them yourself from the Windows CD.
Can you summarize the contents of your ~/.wine/fake_windows/Windows directory? For me, Wine works pretty good, MS Office is running etc., so we should be able to get it running for you as well.

Hmm, mine looks a bit different, but I cannot tell you, whether this has to be:

As I just upgraded Wine, there was a message saying:
>>> As of kernel 2.6.9, WINE will not work unless you enable the Legacy
>>> VM Layout. You can do this like so:
>>>
>>> # echo "vm.legacy_va_layout = 1" >>/etc/sysctl.conf
>>> # sysctl -p
Is this maybe your problem? Strangely, WINE does work for me, even when I do not have this in /etc/sysctl.conf.
