Hi @ all.. I have a problem installing the Game Carmageddon II on my ubuntu machine.. When i execute the main file, I get an error that say that it's not possible to find some configurations file... after many efforts, I think that the problem is in the fact that to instal the game, i take a pre-installed (portable) version of this, and so i just copy and past the whole folder into the program folder under $/.wine/.... So, when the executible file try to find the "missing" configuration file, it search with a pat similar to: c:/programs/carmageddon ... instead of the fisical folder: /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Programs/ Carmageddon. How can I "say"(?!?!?) to the executible file that it is suposed to search the configuration file in the right folder? Tanks a lot and sorry for my bad bad English Stefano.

Let me show you a trick. cd /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Programs/Carmageddon && wine ./Carmageddon.exe Now it should find the file. this trick works with more then just this game to name some: Need For Speed III Age of Empires II> Hi @ all.. > I have a problem installing the Game Carmageddon II on my ubuntu > machine.. > When i execute the main file, I get an error that say that it's not > possible to find some configurations file... > after many efforts, I think that the problem is in the fact that to > instal the game, i take a pre-installed (portable) version of this, and so i just > copy and past the whole folder into the program folder under > $/.wine/.... > So, when the executible file try to find the "missing" configuration > file, it search with a pat similar to: c:/programs/carmageddon ... > instead of the fisical folder: /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Programs/ > Carmageddon. > How can I "say"(?!?!?) to the executible file that it is suposed to > search the configuration file in the right folder? > > Tanks a lot and sorry for my bad bad English > > Stefano.This should of being send one day ago. -- wineappdb <wineappdb at gmail.com>
