i am trying to do a regression test on a game (15553 bug) but i get some strange error: the cd has an exec called splash. when this runs you get a splash screen from where you can choose to install or do other things. This does not work at all (a windows dialog pops saying it cannot find the background img) If i run the actual setup.exe, the game installs but it tells me that I dont have a cdrom drive and it continues to install properly. running the game from its installed place, it shows a windows dialog asking me to insert disc 2 (the play disc) wine is setup properly, cdrom is on d:, notepad can open any files from the cd-rom this is not what happens with the reps wine. The spalsh screen runs properly and the game only asks for a disc when you try to run a level (this is because you are meant to run the game without cd and play multiplayer if you want) for some reason my game does not recognise the cd when runnign ./wine inside the wine-git folder. Ihave even added the d drive and the games folder on the paths variable git installed properly, i followed all the instructions and made sure there where not dependencies left. Many thanks for your input Costas

why would git not provide all patches available? isnt it meant to be the basis of the public available packages? i think my first post is too long and confusing, this is a summary: all versions of the packages (ubuntu) install the game properly (but then when playing I get the bug 15553) all versions from git (doing a regression test i even tried a pre 1.0 wine) do not install the game properly because the cd is not recognised somehow (though wine can see it) I think i better get some screen shots over the bug section...

And from which directory are you running it?
i go into wine-git directory, then i run from terminal: ./wine /media/cdrom0/splash.exe however I just found out that the regular wine does exactly the same thing if the splash.exe is run from another directory. hmmm I wonder why didnt i see it b4, cannot remember now, I thought I did try both wine versions with similar command so it seems it is not just git then. any ideas guys? noting that i did add the cd path to the registry earlier and it did not do anything. many thanks
ok i managed to run the git wine from inside the cd rom directory with following command /home/(user)/wine-git/.wine splash.exe and splash works. now I can go back to doing a regression test at last amazing how vitamin managed to give me the answer by asking a question! thanks vitamin
