Hello All, I've tried researching around on the 'net for an answer to this, but haven't had any luck. Here's some information on the system first: AMD XP 1700 CPU 768 MB DDR Ram (old though, think it's PC 2100) Running Kubuntu 6.06 (Ubuntu Dapper Drake) Using Wine 0.9.19 I've been trying to install Command and Conquer: Red Alert (I have the Domination Pack that includes the two expansions, but I'm just trying to install the core game). How I've tried to install: I've gone to wincfg and set the mode to Win98, and autodetected drives. I put in the cd and run setup.e., or /setup95/setup.exe, or go to the console and type wine /media/cdrom0/setup95/setup.exe The error I get: Setup could not find all of the neccisary instalation files. Please run the setup from the CD. I've been to the WineHQ page about C&C:RA, but the person who was having this problem indicated the fix he was told didn't work, but didn't indicate what he did to get it to work. Any help you can provide is appreciated, and if not, I've gotten along fine for some five or six years without the game, I can manage some more. -Rillip __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

can you try and go to the directory /media/cdrom0/setup95/ then run wine setup.exe Regards Shelton.
