mscorsvw.exe

Hello folks.

I'm trying to get the game Civ IV: BTS working under wine. All legal,
from-disk copies.

First I've installed base Civ IV
Then I've installed the Beyond The Sword expansion pack, over it.
Then I've installed the BTS 3.19 patch, which has no copy protection because
the developers chose to disable it in an update, so no cracked exe is needed.

I've been going on this for advice. Although it only covers the base game,
it's as close as I can seem to find and should theoretically work:
http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/03/10/civilization-iv-on-linux-with-wine-1116/

I've gotten it all installed without issue, then installed the required dlls
and set msxml3 to native as required, but I can't seem to successfully start
the game. When I attempt to do so by simply double clicking the exe, it loads
for a minute or two then terminates with a program error without ever reaching
the main menu.

Code:

Initialize Renderer failed. Check DirectX Installation, Latest Graphics Drivers
and Graphics Settings
Parameters:
	-width  = 1024
	-height  = 768
	-flags = 0xc
	-hwnd = 0x21003a
	-adaptrid = 0
	-deviceid = 1
Error:


That's the end of the error message, there's nothing after. Or perhaps
it gets cut off, but there's no scrollbar.

I've tried running it in the console though wine too. The resulting output
is this:

You didn't say what Wine version. I've never been able to reproduce it
myself, but some people have apparently had problems with BTS in some Wine
verions. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18873 So if you're not using
the latest development release, upgrade.

FWIW, I used winetricks msxml3 d3dx9, and set it to run in a virtual desktop,
and BTS works fine here. My version is the Civ IV Complete, no-DRM dvd.

Run it from a terminal and post the terminal output, including the command you
use to start it. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal

Just noticed this. Being on a different drive should not be a problem, but not
reinstalling after having deleted the original wineprefix would be, because any
registry entries made by the installer would be gone. So reinstall.
