trialbyfile wrote:> I've just converted to Linux, so I'm not really up to speed on
anything. Just putting that out there. I've tried to install a couple
different Windows games in Wine with the same effect. Wine runs the installer
just fine and adds the program to its 'Programs' list in the Application
toolbar (Ubuntu Hardy, btw). When I try to run anything off this list, I get a
little Wine icon in the taskbar, and the cursor goes to an hourglass for a few,
then it closes out. This is even for, say, text readme's, however Notepad,
which came already installed in Wine, works just fine. I didn't run from
the command prompt because I couldn't find any exe file made by the
installer. I did explore the "C;" drive in Wine and found the
directory for one of the games in the "Program Files" directory,
however it seems to only consist of empty files, which I would guess is the
problem. I tried the autorun.exe file in the mounted CD directory and it
brought back up the installer, but no option to launch the program. Wine
version is 1.0.0. Any help would be awesome, I read the FAQ and manual but
didn't see any troubleshooting tips for something like this.
Please tell us the name of the program. Did you check to see if it has an entry
in the AppDB? http://appdb.winehq.org
You could try running the installer from a terminal, something like:
cd /cdrom
wine autorun.exe
Paste the output. It would also be easier to read your questions if you break
them up over many lines instead of just one.
