Hey guys, I am having a problem running steam on wine.

I am running the latest wine from the respos. and i am on hardy. 86 x64. I have
a nvidia geforce 9600gt with the latest drivers installed.

When i try to install steam it loads fine with no errors at all. I can also log
into steam with no issues. The problem i am having is that when i try to install
a game using steam via interweb it just crashes. I thought maybe i could just go
over to my windows half and copy my games over to my .wine/drive_c/Pgram/Steam /
folder and when i launch steam again it shows my installed games but when i try
to launch the game it just crashes again.

heres my output when i double click on a game from term.

Code:


Code:
err:shell:SHGetFileInfoW pidl is null!
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not
registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc}
could be created for context 0x1
Segmentation fault




Any help would be grateful!

Thanks again![/code]

Follow the AppDB's howto for steam:

Followed the link and still nothing. 

Double click the game icon in steam and steam just crashes and shows the output
i have posted above.
