[K12OSN] Fwd: Unsupported Crossover (Wine) app installed in managed mode only runs as root.

[Barry Cisna]

Krsnendu,

Search back through the archives here. I'm not sure what month. I wrote a
pretty decent how to on how to run Windows apps for all users/system wide.
What version of K12LTSP are you using? Long story short, You make a
directory of /wine on the root of your hard drive . You install all you
Windows apps as *any* user,,,then copy /paste the ./wine/* folders of the
"installer" user, to the newly created /wine folder. Create launchers, on
the desktop for each app, then as root "push" the launchers to all users
folder on desktop.Now all users will be able to run *most* Windows apps. I
tried several and they all worked. I'm sure You'll run into trouble if
these are say MS databased apps,,though.
I had purchased CrossOver Office and this worked great on some apps,but
with the newer versions of Wine I had even better luck!

Take Care,
