Hi all!
I've just got a new machine (it's not great, but it was damn cheap), and
I just put Ubuntu 11.10 on it. I wanted to get Battlefield 1942 running on it,
as I'd had trouble with previous installs. I'd have hoped that it would
be sorted by now, and I was encouraged by links on WineHQ with gold and platinum
ratings for this game, reporting little or no errors.
I got the latest version of Wine, and tried installing. The main window popped
up fine, asking for the language for the installer. Then the next box popped up
fine, and I entered the code. After that, it freezes, and I get an error that
"IKernel has encountered a serious error", and the install stops.
I've seen a link describing the problem on here,
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18835), but seemingly no solution. This
was from 3 years ago, and supposedly it has been solved in an update, so I'm
confused why it should still cause a problem now.
If anyone has any ideas I'd welcome them.
Cheers!
