Okay,


I can get to the installer, but once it starts copying files, it cannot copy any for some reason, what must I do to fix this?

First step, check permissions. Do the user Wine is installing under have permission to create files and directories in the location you're installing into? (No real experience with Wine, but that's the first thing to always check.)

I do not think so,

How do I check/Change?

I don't know how to check the user Wine runs under (maybe it's your own, maybe it's a specific "wine" user, I don't know), but to check file ownership you can use Feel free to add a directory path after that (ls -l /usr/games/ or whatever) to see that directory. The list look something along these lines (your details will vary):

The things you care about are the permission string (the first 10 characters) and then the user name ("avwolf" here) and the group name ("users" here). The permissions are setup as a flag as to if this is a directory (see the "d" on the entry for "temp" at the bottom) and then three sets of three characters. Those characters are the actual permissions -- read (r), write (w), and execute (x). The first set of three is for the owner, the second is for the group, and the third is for everybody else.

The directory you're installing in needs write permissions for the user Wine is running as. If you don't know who that user is, or you're really lazy, you can just set the permission for "everybody." (This is less secure, but security is probably not a top priority for you.)

Change ownership with chown:

Permissions are set with chmod. I use octal to set the file permissions, so I can never remember the way to do it with characters, but if you want to give everyone permissions to do whatever they want: Note that directories must have execute permissions, or you won't be able to change to that directory.

(For the record, most files default to 644, or read-write owner, read group, read everybody; the ones in the example are 664. Directories default to 755 for read-write-execute owner, read-execute group, read-execute everybody; the one in the example is 775.)

Right, but I have no idea what I am supposed to change,

The Wine C:\Program_Files or something...

Yeah, that's probably where you should look first. Darned if I know where that'll be though.

No idea where it is...


Found it on the internets

sudo chown -R <your username> .wine



Now I've got it installed, but every time I try to play, it brings up the load box, exits it like normal, but nothing happens

Some places are telling me I need a No CD Crack...Or a newer version of Wine

Need help on that next.

If you don't have the original CD then get a No-CD crack.

((these will be at the bottom of every post of mine, please click them as well as the ones in my siggie ))

I have the original CD, but forums, and I think even M$ said you need a no CD crack for wine under a certain version, and my wine is under that version

Also, no, the CD's not working with it too well.


Got a new version of wine,...but now it won't let me open the setup...


WineHQ says :

With 0.9.59 you need to use native imm32.dll to allow installer to work.

Actually disabling it is enough, but The Conquerors expansion pack doesn't work without it.

what does this mean?



Also, I tried to install the game Stronghold, which WineHq said works out of the box, but the transfer had an error a file was "not ready"

I think that means you need an imm32.dll off of a Windows machine for the installer to work properly. I'm not sure how one would go about "disabling" it, but if you were to do so, you'd be able to install the game, but the expansion pack would not work.

The DLL might also be on the CD if you mount it and go looking.

OMG! Stronghold is AWESOME.
i got Crusaders and I still love the game.

Mass knights FTW

So do I, but Wine hates it.
