Dungeon Keeper 2 > Won't run after installing the game

[Noob_Computa_Ninja]

Hi there guys.

I have a real urge to play some Dungoen Keeper 2.
And I was hoping that you could shed some light on the issues that seem to
prevent it from running.

I have the orignal game (with a slightly updated patch).

Issue:
The game won't even run.
(See error messages in code box below).

Question:What do I need to do, in order to get DK2 running and working
properly ?

History:
1. I orignally had Wine (version 1.6.2 and 1.9.6) installed as part of the
Ubutntu 16.04 base distro.

2. I have installed/uninstalled DK2 a couple of times to see if this helped

3. I have left DK2 game installed, as I then install the new version of wine
(version 2.0.1) onto my system.
(After a full purge of all previous version of wine).

See WineHQ AppDB: Dungeon Keeper 2 ...

I'd recommend testing in clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX - see WineHQ FAQ: 6.5.3 How do I create a 32 bit wineprefix on a 64 bit system?

Plus set that WINEPREFIX to Windows XP:

Code: Select all

winetricks winxp

Hi there Bob Wya

I thought I'd go the whole hog and start from scratch. With a nice clean slate to work
from.

I've done the following -
1. Uninstalled DK2
2. Uninstalled and purged wine 2.0.1
3. Reinstalled wine 2.0.1

I am about to create the 32-bit wine prefix, but I was a little bit confused as where
to place/install this.

The default setup for wine looks like this -
/home/[my username]/Desktop/Home/.wine/

Would it be possible/(wise) to install the 32-bit wine prefix, here too
or create a new dir to place it in ?

I was thinking of creating a new dir called "x32-bit" and then using the following set-up
/home/[my username]/Desktop/Home/.wine/x32-bit

to place the new 32-bit wine prefix within it.


Thanks very much for the help so far.
It's very much appreciated.

When you don't have the WINEPREFIX variable set - Wine will default to using the directory:

Code: Select all

"${HOME}/.wine" # aka ~/.wine

A WINEPREFIX can be thought of as the virtual root C:\ drive for that independent instance of Wine.
Like a separate Windows installation.

You wouldn't want to nest WINEPREFIX's. It would lead to "issues" - like installing Windows inside Windows!
Each WINEPREFIX should be read/writable by the Linux user you are using to run Wine (not root!!)

A common 32-bit WINEPREFIX is:

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32
export WINEARCH=win32
wineboot -u

which creates a 32-bit WINEPREFIX @ ~/.wine32 = "${HOME}/.wine32".

Personally I've got all WINEPREFIX's in a big directory on a separate partition. The partition can be formatted with a choice from most modern Linux-supported file-systems...
Certainly I know that NTFS-3g, Exfat, and Ext2-4 work well with Wine. Probably BTRFS and ZFS will also work.

I try to keep to a single application per WINEPREFIX (which is what is recommended).
I choose to name each WINEPREFIX after the application it contains - with a suffix of 32 or 64 to remind me what architecture it is...
Then I don't get lost when I have some ~100 WINEPREFIX's off a single directory!!

The way I learnt to use Wine was just playing about - trying to create a WINEPREFIX, install some stuff, poke about in the file structure (in the WINEPREFIX) and then remove the WINEPREFIX.

If you store all your applications in separate WINEPREFIX's then when you break one WINEPREFIX - your other WINEPREFIX's will continue to work!

I believe that the root directory of the WINEPREFIX previously had to be non-existent (only the parent directories could exist). The process of setting up the WINEPREFIX would both create the final WINEPREFIX directory and populate it with fake dll's and text-based registry files.

I believe now Wine lets you create a WINEPREFIX in an empty directory that already exists.

Sorry a bit waffly - it would be a lot easier to explain these concepts with pictures!

I took your advice and have created a new 32 bit WINEPREFIX
in the following location -
/home/[my user name]/Desktop/Home/.wine/wine_32_bit/

However whenever I try to reinstall DK2 I experience the same issue as before
namely -

The game will install, but it seems to place itself in the default (64-bit)
WINEPREFIX.

I have tried numerous different ways to force wine to use the 32-bit
WINEPREFIX.

If I set the the 32-bit WINEPREFIX using the command that you specified
I will get a new wine config GUI (that shows all versions of Windows)
and the 32-bit ones in particular.

At the wine config GUI I see the following -

Add application > Navigate to the CD ROM drive >
(It will let me select the DK2.exe or the Autorun.exe but that's it).

wine won't run or start the application.

If I navigate the CD-ROM drive from KDE, the Autorun.exe will launch.
The game will install, but I'm back to square one, as the game seems to
default to the original 64-bit wine installation.
Where the game will fail to launch.

What am I doing wrong here ?

[Bob Wya]

I took your advice and have created a new 32 bit WINEPREFIX
in the following location -

Code: Select all

/home/[my user name]/Desktop/Home/.wine/wine_32_bit/

...

What am I doing wrong here ?

Would you try and install Windows inside an existing Windows installation? Hint: probably not!!
So in corollary you can't create a WINEPREFIX within an existing WINEPREFIX.

You need to do something like winetricks does and use a directory purely as a container for a number of WINEPREFIX's:

Code: Select all

mkdir -p "${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes/" # make container directory
export WINEPREFIX="${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes/dungeon_keeper_2"
export WINEARCH=win32
wineboot -u # create WINEPREFIX immediately below container directory

Every time you want to run Dungeon Keeper 2 or configure something in that new WINEPREFIX you need to ensure that:

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX="${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes/dungeon_keeper_2"

is still active.
You can check this with:

Code: Select all

env | grep WINE

which will show you currently active Wine environment variables in your shell.

If your CD-ROM installation disc is mapped to drive D: (check with winecfg).
You can dump the contents with:

Code: Select all

ls "${WINEPREFIX}/dosdevices/d:/"

(change the drive letter as appropriate)

To run the installer you can then run it directly from the terminal, as in:

Code: Select all

wine start "D:\Autorun.exe"

or

Code: Select all

wine start "D:\DK2.exe"

This will typically spit out helpful error messages - if something goes wrong!

IMHO trying to setup an application - to run under Wine - with GUI tools is a royal PITA.
Dolphin (your KDE File Manager) will use the global Wine .desktop xdg files - which will all refer to the default WINEPREFIX - "${HOME}/.wine" for example.
This is not what you want to use though in this instance!

[Noob_Computa_Ninja]

Hi again Bob.

I have followed the steps that you have outlined and ran the code that you have provided.
And mapped the D: drive to the CD-ROM.

Here are the results =
Code 01 =

Code: Select all

wine start "D:\Autorun.exe"

Result 01 =

Code: Select all

Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

Code 02 =

Code: Select all

wine start "D:\DK2.exe"

Result 02 =

Code: Select all

fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

Thank you very much for taking the time to help me with this.
It really is much appreciated.

[Bob Wya]

Uhmmm...

What's the output from:

Code: Select all

'ls' -hl "${WINEPREFIX:-${HOME}/.wine}/dosdevices/d:"{/,}

then?

Ta
Bob

[Noob_Computa_Ninja]

The results are as follows =

Code: Select all

ls: cannot access '/home/[my username]/.wine/dosdevices/d:/': No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 [my username] [my username]  23 Jul 11  2015 /home/[my username]/.wine/dosdevices/d: -> /media/[my username]/jediacad_1/

Now this is interesting. So it looks like the D: doesn't exist. I did select D: and map it
to the CD-ROM drive. Incidentally I did this using the winecfg GUI tool.

However it looks like it's picking up an old install of wine and an old game that I was
running (Jedi Academy).

N.B.
1. Previously I was running a 32-bit version of Linux/Ubuntu with a 32-bit version of
wine on this PC, and managed to get some games working with those versions.
(I have recently installed the new 64-bit version of Linux/Ubuntu).

2. If I use KDE's dolphin file manager, and install DK2 that way.
The game will install but the default location that it uses is -
To this old install dir, where I've installed these other PC games in the old wine version
and it shows things like, Dawn of War, and the Jedi Knight games.

And this is after I have uninstalled and purged all old versions of wine.

[Noob_Computa_Ninja]

Hi again Bob.

I went over your suggestions once again. I have done the following -

1. Removed all entires for the CD-ROM drive associated with my older installs and
other games.

2. I then reassigned the D: drive as the CD-ROM drive and linked it to DK2.

3. Installed the game once again. However this time, it has installed to the correct dir
in the 32-bit WINEPREFIX
E.G. -
/home/[my user name]/Desktop/Home/.local/share/wineprefixes/dungeon_keeper_2/drive_c/Program Files/Bullfrog/Dungeon Keeper 2/


Now when I try and run the game, I am presented with the next error message -

Hi again Bob.
...
3. Installed the game once again. However this time, it has installed to the correct dir
in the 32-bit WINEPREFIX
E.G. -
/home/[my user name]/Desktop/Home/.local/share/wineprefixes/dungeon_keeper_2/drive_c/Program Files/Bullfrog/Dungeon Keeper 2/


Now when I try and run the game, I am presented with the next error message -
...

Do you have any ideas where I need to go from here please ?
TIA

Well just for the record I was suggesting to create your (Linux) user's WINEPREFIX's off this root directory:

"${HOME}/.local/wineprefixes" = "/home/[my user name]/.local/share/wineprefixes"

Which is the default location that the winetricks uses...
There's not much point putting stuff in many nested layers deep of directories - but just from the perspective of personal usability !!

A Wine stack trace is not much use - without the following accompanying information:

• Code: Select all

  env | grep WINE

  e.g.

  Code: Select all

  env | grep WINE
  WINEPREFIX="/home/[my user name]/Desktop/Home/.local/share/wineprefixes/dungeon_keeper_2"

• the Linux present working directory (pwd) in the which the Wine command was launched
  e.g.

  Code: Select all

  pwd
  /home/[my user name]/Desktop/Home/.local/share/wineprefixes/dungeon_keeper_2/drive_c/Program Files/Bullfrog/Dungeon Keeper 2/

• the actual Wine command used (i.e. including all parameters passed to Wine)
  e.g.

  Code: Select all

  wine start DKII.exe

• console output from Wine before the stack trace is generated
  e.g.

  Code: Select all

  wine start DKII.exe &> "${HOME}/wine_console_log.txt" # the file: ~/wine_console_log.txt now contains the Wine console log

Some of this information is optional (but I would certainly ask for it - in this case - if I feel that some doesn't understand how to use the WINEPREFIX env variable correctly)...

Hi again Bob.

I believe that I have provided the answers to the questions you posed.

Is there anything else you need from me (log files or other commands you would like me to run)
to see why dungeon keeper 2 is refusing to run ?

Thanks very much, for all of your help so far mate.

Sorry just away doing some research...
I don't like forum threads that go on for ever... Without a successful resolution!

So I've checked the GOG Games copy of Dungeon Keeper II.
This uses the Windows version of Dosbox as a simple wrapper for the game.

So I would expect Dungeon Keeper II to run correctly - in the native Linux Dosbox...
So I'd recommend switching over to using Dosbox completely to run Dungeon Keeper II.
Since the executables/libraries are all simple DOS-based binaries and not the newer Window PE format (that would require Wine to run them).

I've not really used Dosbox before... I just installed the native Linux version today.
But in my testing today - the Dosbox documentation is clear and it "just works"(TM)!

Give that a try and see how you get on!
Bob

Hi there Bob.

Hey you don't need to be sorry, you've been a massive help in trying to resolve this
issue for me.

So I took your advice, and did some further research myself (based upon your suggestions
and findings). I installed DOSbox and attempted to get DK2 to run.

I have discovered the following -

1. Dungeon keeper 2 is a Windows game (as opposed to DOS).
This was after many attempts, and all of the error messages from DOSbox stating that
DK-2 wasn't a DOS game.
(However, it appears that Dungoen Keeper 1 (DK-1) is a DOS game).

2. I bought Dungeon keeper 1 & 2 from GOG and I have managed to get DK-2 to run well
in my Windows 7 install, on my dual boot partition (after a bit of tinkering).

3. My next step is to try and run the GOG version of DK-2 in WINE to see if I can get
that running on my Linux install.

Thank you very much for all of your help with this mate.
It's very much appreciated.

Kind regards.

You might want to double check that... I'm sure both the games are DOSBox wrapped by GOG...
pev is useful, simple native forensics tool that will tell you some basic information about Windows executables (.exe) and dynamic link libraries (.dll).
It will tell you if a Windows executable file is the more modern PE-type (relocatable in memory) or a simple DOS-type (fixed memory loading address).

Good luck with your further experiments!

Bob
