wine users - Aug 2010 - New to this. Trying to install a dos game

Hi there, I'm new to using wine and am currently having some issues
installing my first dos game using linux mint.

I will probably use dosbox to play it but need wine for its windows installer.

If you must know the game is Chex Quest. It's a game about intergalactic
cereal. (Chex cereal)

The problem that i have encountered is although the installer opens and works
fine, there are video files in .smk format that are used in the game.

The when I get done selecting all the stuff like where I want to install it to
an error message comes up saying "file_name_here could not be opened"

I'm a bit confused. What do I need to do in order to sucessfully install
this game.

Thanks

a DOS game that requires Windows to install?  weird...  I'd probably just
install it on Windows and move it over...

what commands did you actually type in... and what all did it say?  make sure
you run it from the folder... cd into the folder and run it from there so the
working directory is right, thats often the cause of file not found issues.
