wine users - Jun 2002 - Executing an windows application installer that check for wi ndow s version?

Hi All

Andrily, Thanks for the information. I've tried setting the config file. YIt
doesn't work. I've checked with the application support. According to
them, the OS check is done by InstallShield product functionality. Anyone has
any idea how Installshiled detects the version of os ( can't find such info
on their website!) and how we can workaround it.

Thanks again

Windows version is an option, set in ~/.wine/config
file (see comments in [Version] section).

hi guys!!

I have Half-life and counter strike running under wine withgreat fps
.... the only little glitch I have is about sound

I have the sound in the menu, but when I go to the game, the sound
doesn't work anymore (even in the menus) unless I restart the game.

i've seen lot of people saying I need to change my cstrike/config.cfg
file to disable voice, which I did, but it still doesn't seems to want
to work

if anybody has an idea ?

thank you

Rico

If you have set up your config file properly then  things _should_ work.  
in your config file you should have something like the following (a line 
starting with ; is a comment)

[Version]
; Windows version to imitate 
(win95,win98,winme,nt351,nt40,win2k,winxp,win20,win30,win31)
"Windows" = "win98"

If setting this does not work then submitting a bug report in bugsilla 
is the next thing for you to do. If there is a demo that can help a lot. 
 Some usefull usefull information on writing a bug report can be found here

When I'm in the game, it does not look like the device is used by
anything else but the game ..

As for your other question, during the game, I'm able to fire up xmms
and play mp3, it works.

Do you know what's the problem ?

Thank you for your help

Rico
