By default, Wine identifies itself to apps as win95.  What windows
version is Setup intended for?  Just tell Wine what version of windose
you want it to try to be, FI:

wine --winver nt40 SETUP.EXE

you are running Setup on the Windows Platform for which it is intended."

I have wine 20010731   installed from source, and I am trying to install
halflife  from the original cd.

$ mount /mnt/cdrom
$ cd /mnt/cdrom
$ wine SETUP.EXE

Anyone got any ideas?  Other apps installed to a "real" windows
partition
work OK (e.g. Lotus Notes is fine).

Paul.

Suprisingly this works OK, even though the game should be more compatible
with win 95 / win 98.  Thanks for the input.

I presume the winver can be set in the config file?
