Ok so I'm trying to install some games from big fish, just to see if they'll work. I download the game and when I run it it tells me: "You don't have permission to install games from Big Fish Games on this computer. Please log in with an administrator account and try again. How do I fix this?

Great idea, but nope, still gives me the same error message.

Thanks guys, ok next question. Sorry, I'm new to all this. Trying to get away from windows. How do you apply the patch that is suggested below: ------- Comment #5 From Kai Blin 2008-11-30 17:06:57 ------- Created an attachment (id=17575) [details] Workaround as suggested by Lei This one allows the installer to start, as Lei said. Posting here for your convenience. As this is just a hack and not a full solution, I won't submit this patch to Wine but will try to find a correct fix.
Hey austin, thanks for helping out a noob, got one more question, hopefully the last. I installed wine using the deb. I think I found the source directory at /var/lib32/wine as it's got all the .so files in it. I've put the patch into a patch.diff file and then ran the line it says and I get the following: msastin at msastin-desktop /usr/lib32/wine $ patch -p1 < patch.diff can't find file to patch at input line 9 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: and now I'm stuck.
I applied this patch and recompiled Wine (25 minutes on my poor overheating 3-year-old lappy). The install process got one step further, but then died again with the same "login as administrator" message. I was trying to install "Plants vs. Zombies" if it's relevant.
