I am using a Kunbuntu Lucid Lynx 10.4/ Vista 64bit dual boot. The application I want to lunch is DDO. (Dungeons and Dragons Online) I click the application launcher, I go to "Applications," then I go to "WINE," and lastly I go to "Browse C: Drive" and I get this error... "Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder file:///home/My_User_Name/Documents/.wine/dosdevices/c: does not exist." [Rolling Eyes] Yes, I've went to properties and I've made sure that the .exe file opens with WINE. However, when I click the icon I see a bouncing WINE symbol, but NOTHING happens! I've found a LOTRO Launcher that should work with DDO, but I have to compile scripts from Python to use it... [Evil or Very Mad] Seriously, I need to install an installer to an installer for an installer, but before I do any of that I need to take college courses to learn a programming language... is there a simpler way? [Evil or Very Mad] I'm really frustrated, I've spent a week googling this thing, and trying to find forums that have posts concerning the very same problem, but nada, nothing. Just now, I've seen that WINE actually has a forum (No Sarcastic Remarks, Please!). I've read the Newbie Pages, here, there was no help. I am a new user to Linux, so I don't have any experience with command lines. Thank you for your time, and I give MUCH APPRECIATION for those with helpful, insightful, or constructive comments. Tec, Peace Out.~ [Wink]
First, you didn't say what version of Wine; if it's not the latest development release (curently 1.1.44), upgrade. Second, did you follow the howto in the AppDB for installing this game? It mentions an automatic installer available for Ubuntu, in their repositories: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2910 If that doesn't solve your problem, run it from a terminal and post whatever messages appear. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal

I highly recommend TESTING everything you want Wine to do for you and then submitting bug reports for each and everything you find that does not work. Pulseaudio excluded (it is a really painful subject for the developers, but it looks like it is NOT going away and more and more Linux software products are looking to rely on it as well.) Before submitting a bug report, please do a thorough search, as bug reports have some very interesting titles. After you submit a bug report, please post a message in the forums/mailing list so others will be aware that there is a report for a problem they may encounter. Lastly, if a bug report exists, please VOTE for it. This advises developers that the problem still exists and how many folks are affected by it. James McKenzie> > > >
