wine users - Dec 2001 - ultima online and wine/winex

has anyone successfully installed and played ultima online with wine?
i've installed it with some older versions of wine, but i've never
gotten
it to run. now i can't even get it to install... with wine (codeweavers)
or with winex (transgaming).

in the support section on the transgaming site, several people state that
they got it to install and run, but you have to be a transgaming
subscriber to post.

this is the error that i get when it freezes during the install :

X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  62 (X_CopyArea)
  Resource id in failed request:  0xc0078f
  Serial number of failed request:  20252
  Current serial number in output stream:  20276

any ideas? (please don't suggest the linux UO client, it's 3 years old
and hasn't worked in a long time)

if you need any more information, please ask.

thanks.

too bad that something like that does not work
for Usenet, a lot of news group cybersquatting
would be avoided this way.

i hate doing this, but i figured it out only 30 minutes after posting
this message. that seems to be the way that it always works.

i couldn't get the installer to work. it would hang every time, in the
same place. the way i got it installed and working was i fired up
vmware (win2k) and installed it there. then i copied the install
directory to my fake windows install that codeweavers wine sets up.
then i exported the entire win2k registry to a file and searched for
"ultima". i copied every key into the fake registry that wine uses.
then i ran "wine uo.exe" and worked! the auto-patch works! now i just
need to get UOAM and UOA to work.  :)

i'm using redhat 7.2 with the latest version of codeweavers wine with
the latest winex installed over it. i'm playing ultima online
rennaissance.
