New computer, new install of GCA under wine. Early version worked fine, ran the update, then crash on "Default set of User files doesn't appear to exist. Creating them."

2 lines above says, "Base Documents Folder = ::{450d8fba-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103}\GURPS Character Assistant 4\"

The crash box reports "Run-time error '76': Path not found"

Ironically, the files do exist, salvaged from my old hard drive. The live in the documents directory of my windows partition, and I have it symlinked to be the same in my home partition in linux, and also the same in the user directory of the "c drive" created by wine. How can I tell GCA where to find it?

Is there some environment variable it reads to get this {450d8fba-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103}?

Thanks,

GEF
