wine users - Feb 2002 - Newbie Trying To Get Ghost Recon To Install

Hello,

I'm new to using WINE (and to these lists), so I apologize if this has
been asked and answered already: Has anyone been able to get Ghost Recon
to at least install? The autorun program came up just fine, but when I
click the button to install, it promptly quits. I tried running the
setup.exe program directly, and it gets as far as trying to setup and
install shield wizard, and then gives me an error mesage box stating that
it cannot load a certain dll. I do not recall the name of the dll, and I
do not have immediate access to the GR installer -- I borrowed my
friend's discs and manuals to see if it would work under WINE. When I
found out last week that it wouldn't install, I returned them =-(. I
might be able to borrow them again, though.

I am running the latest WINE on this box:

* SuSE Linux 7.1
* 1Ghz Athlon
* SiS Mainboard
* 256MB RAM
* GeForce 2-MX (not using nVidia's drivers, just the ones that come with
SuSE)
* 60GB HD

I am trying to set up an MS-Free game machine, so using an existing
WhineDoze install just isn't gonna happen. =-)


Any help offered will be greatly appreciated.

Do you really think anybody can/will help you if you don't
even mention which dll couldn't get loaded ??

I really wish newbies would know what to post instead of posting
50 lines and always mention the most important problem with a completeness
of << 40%.

Show us your damn error messages :)

Useless story telling won't help anyone.

Besides, we do have different mail lists for a purpose.

Oh well, I guess just try again :)
