wine users - May 2010 - Homeworld 2 will not launch

With Wine 1.2-rc1 I am trying to run Homeworld 2 1.1. I have configured Wine to
use NT 4.0, as this is the only way to get the copy protection to work. I have
successfully run the game once, but prior and since it simply spins up the CD
and then exits. The only message from a run with no extra command line
parameters or variables is this:

Code:
fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 2d1400 (device=2d access=0
func=500 method=0)


However, I got that when it actually ran too.

I haven't been able to determine what was different when it ran that one
time, and the lack of errors is frustrating. Any suggestions?

I'm still getting the same behavior with 1.2rc-4. It's rather
frustrating that no one else seems to be having the same problem, and I'm
getting no error messages. Can anyone suggest some way to help determine what
the issue is?
