I don't so much agree. I've installed both Fallout 3 (Bethesda
Softworks\\Fallout 3), Icewind Dale both 1 and 2 (Black Isle\\Icewind Dale and
Black Isle\\Icewind Dale II), as well as The Sims 3 (Electronic Arts\\The Sims
3) and had no issues with either the fact that the folder names had spaces, or
the fact that folders with spaces in their names were nested inside folders with
spaces in their names, although in the distant past the nested folders would
have had problems being created.
However, I don't ever install to Program Files, so if that's the issue--
especially if h2sammo has set the default Windows version to Vista or Win 7 or
something with UAC-- then trying another install location than C:\Program Files
is probably a good idea.
I would more wonder though, if there might not be "hidden"
"invalid" characters in a Asian or other non-Latin language somewhere
that the install is falling over-- I've had this happen to me in Windows
more than once and it could be that Wine has inherited that bad behaviour.
Wouldn't expect that from Jade Empire-- isn't that a Bioware game?-- but
the other two I'm not familiar with, and tbh, you never know.
But in any event, as a temporary workaround I would suggest that since you know
what the folders are meant to be called, h2sammo, why not just create them ahead
of time in C:\Program Files and see if you can install the games to the
pre-created folders. That would probably give us more information as to where
the problem exactly lies.
If that works out, I might even then uninstall the game, and then reinstall to a
new location. If you don't have other partitions that you could use, then
create a "Games" folder in your /home folder and create a new drive in
winecfg pointing to "/home/Games"; if you call that "drive"
D:\ for example, then see if the game will create the folders D:\Perfect World
Entertainment\Perfect World International.
If that works, we have yet more information, and you have (hopefully) at least
one, possibly two install methods that allow you to actually play the games
you've been working on so long now :D .
