Wineprefix Setup

Setting Up Your Build and Wineprefix

Refer to the "Wine User Guide documentation" for more information about using Wine.

Copy Your Build to the Default Directory

Since this guide uses rum, you need to copy your custom Wine build to /opt/wines/, which is the default directory used by rum:
```
mkdir /opt/wines
```
```
cp "$HOME/Documents/ElementalWarrior-wine/wine-install" "/opt/wines/affinity-photo3-wine9.13-part3"
```
Create a Symlink for wine64

The custom version of Wine built here might not include a binary named wine64, which can cause issues when using Winetricks. To avoid these problems, create a symbolic link (symlink) for wine as wine64:
```
ln -s /opt/wines/affinity-photo3-wine9.13-part3/bin/wine /opt/wines/affinity-photo3-wine9.13-part3/bin/wine64
```
Create Your Wineprefix:

Use rum to create your WINEPREFIX ($HOME/.wineAffinity):
```
rum affinity-photo3-wine9.13-part3 $HOME/.wineAffinity wineboot --init
```

Install Dependencies with winetricks:

rum affinity-photo3-wine9.13-part3 $HOME/.wineAffinity winetricks --unattended dotnet48 corefonts

Set the Wineprefix to Windows 11 if Needed:

Winetricks might set your prefix to Win7 after installing dotnet, so you may need to set it back to Win11 with the following command
```
rum affinity-photo3-wine9.13-part3 $HOME/.wineAffinity wine winecfg -v win11
```
Copy .winmd Files if Using Affinity Version Newer than 1.10.3:

As mentioned in the preamble, you will need winmd files from a Windows install if you wish to use an Affinity version newer than 1.10.3. They are located in C:/windows/system32/WinMetadata and need to go in $HOME/.wineAffinity/drive_c/windows/system32/WinMetadata.
```
cp [WinMetadata folder path] "$HOME/.wineAffinity/drive_c/windows/system32/WinMetadata"
```

Run Any Affinity Installer .exe with rum:

rum affinity-photo3-wine9.13-part3 $HOME/.wineAffinity wine [Path to the installer].exe

Launch Installed Affinity Software:

To launch the desired Affinity software, use the following commands:

Publisher

rum affinity-photo3-wine9.13-part3 $HOME/.wineAffinity wine "$HOME/.wineAffinity/drive_c/Program Files/Affinity/Publisher 2/Publisher.exe"

Designer

rum affinity-photo3-wine9.13-part3 $HOME/.wineAffinity wine "$HOME/.wineAffinity/drive_c/Program Files/Affinity/Designer 2/Designer.exe"

Photo

rum affinity-photo3-wine9.13-part3 $HOME/.wineAffinity wine "$HOME/.wineAffinity/drive_c/Program Files/Affinity/Photo 2/Photo.exe"
