I am a noob with Conty but, some programs ran in wine complain about no space left?

So, for testing, I tried to run the PortableApps menu in wine using Conty. It launches, but, it complains about lack of space when doing app updates.

I presume I am doing something wrong somewhere or missing something.

The command I used to launch is:
HOME_DIR="$PWD" ./conty.sh wine Start.exe

I can install PortableApps using downloaded exes, but using the built-in app fetching thing is hit or miss, and updates fail. The common theme is lack of space. The menu says there is 1.8GB of space but nothing available.

You aren't doing anything wrong, this is merely due to how Wine sees partitions by default.

By default in Wine there are C: and Z: drives. Z: drive is root (/), and since the root partition in Conty is read-only and has no free space, some applications that have free space checks may show errors. Your /home, of course, might have plenty of free space, but for Wine Z:\home is still Z: drive, even if home is on a different partition (which it is in case of Conty).

However, the solution is pretty simple, just open winecfg and add your /home (or /home/username) as an additional drive (for example, D:). And install applications on that drive instead of Z:.

$ ./conty.sh wine winecfg

Excellent, this did the trick. Thank you.
