wine users - Oct 2005 - Transport Tycoon Deluxe for Windows installation failure / Wine-20050930

Hi!

I wanted to install Transport Tycoon Deluxe for Windows
but the installation does not even start.

I have wine-20050930-1fc3winehq.i686 on my system, FC3/x86-64.
The installation directory seems strange on the very first window,
every backslash character is painted as a strike-through upcase
letter W.

Browsing for another directory or typing the directory manually
gives the same problem.

You can download this game among others for testing from
http://www.the-underdogs.org/

For the ones who browse Linux gaming sites: Yes, I know about OpenTTD.
It requires the files from the _installed_ Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

Best regards,
Zolt?n B?sz?rm?nyi

Hi Zoltan,

I'll have a go on this one with you. I remember playing TT with my 
younger brother many moons ago on old serially linked 486s...
I just need to get wine up on my new AMD64/FC4 box. Once up I'll have a 
go at TTD.

the only thing I can say so far is that on Japanese systems a slash is 
replaced with a strike-though Y (yen) sign. So could this be locale 
related in some way?

later,

Liam

With wine 20050930, you should use 'comctl32=native' with all your
applications.
Otherwise you'll experience installers failing because they can't
create directories (and crashes in 'open file' dialogs..)

You can also check out CVS or SVN HEAD, where that problem has been fixed.
It's quite stable right now because there's a code freeze going on in
the main development branch.........

Worth a try!

In Korean Windows, the won sign is used instead of \ in pathes, and is 
in the same place on the keyboard as \ should be on an US/en keyboard.
