Hi,

I try to Install gog.com - The Witcher Enhanced Edition Director's Cut

Because the partition of my system is out of space I want to Install in another directory. Therefore I mount a directory from another HD (same filesystem as the system - ext4) in my home directory, configure this in the used Wine preface and install the game in the new partition (D:\). Install works perfektly but in the end I get the message: binary not found. Is the program installed in your standard directory? (free translation, I'm from Germany)

I don't know how to change the script that POL will find the executable, because the documentation says:

"You should not specify the whole path to the executable, PlayOnLinux will find it automatically."

Can somebody help me?

I believe you want to symlink the new folder to the playonmac folder, if I am not mistaken. 

Hi, yes I think you're right. I want to symlink the new folder to POL respectively to the Wine preface, that the Program can be executed with POL. It's not listened but the install routine is finished.

And sorry for the lack of information.

I run a Lubuntu 14.04 Trusty Thar, my POL version is 4.2.2 did you need more information?

When I try to install I get the following debug output:

Copy the whole ~/.PlayOnLinux folder to your new folder, and then:

ln -s path-to-new-folder $HOME/.PlayOnLinux

I THINK that is the syntax. I never actually make symbolic links that often, oddly enough. You are basically just saying that this folder (first argument) should have a shortcut named ~/.PlayOnLinux/ (second argument).

I am sure someone will correct me, as I am jsut going off the top of my head (which, again, is odd, because I should know this. haha.), but that is the just of it. 

Actually, read this. I was looking for this thread, but couldn't find it. This will explain the process.

Thank you, I will try it later and tell how it works.
