Hype: The time quest won't install.

Post by DOS4dinner »

Hype is a Win95/98/ME 3D action game that has always been a favorite of mine. The demo installed fine, so I decided to get my full copy and try it out.

For some reason, when it tries to install, it gives this at the beginning:
fixme:vxd:VXD_Open Unknown/unsupported VxD L"sice.vxd". Try setting Windows version to 'nt40' or 'win31'.

However, that goes away and it starts installing fine...until 99% complete. Then, it gives me this:
fixme:advpack:ExecuteCabW Cab archive not extracted!
fixme:advpack:ExecuteCabW Cab archive not extracted!
fixme:advpack:ExecuteCabW Cab archive not extracted!
fixme:advpack:ExecuteCabW Cab archive not extracted!
fixme:advpack:ExecuteCabW Cab archive not extracted!
fixme:advpack:ExecuteCabW Cab archive not extracted!
fixme:advpack:ExecuteCabW Cab archive not extracted!
fixme:advpack:ExecuteCabW Cab archive not extracted!
fixme:advpack:ExecuteCabW Cab archive not extracted!

From there, it says "Install Failed." and closes up. So far, I've tried running it in 95/98/ME compat modes, and all of them do the same thing. Any Ideas?

edit: Running Ubuntu 8.04 and Wine 1.1.6.
double-edit: Found where it happens in the wine source code: Line 670-690 of wine/dlls/advpack/install.c. Not sure how that helps, but I'm sure it does.

This is a copy protection issue; your app is checking for the SoftIce debugger. Try doing exactly what the error message tells you: set the Windows version to NT or 3.1.

Set to NT 4; The fixme:vxd:VXD_Open Unknown/unsupported VxD L"sice.vxd" did not happen. However, the install still failed at 99% with the same executecab error messages.

Problem still persists in 1.1.7. Is this bug report worthy, or do I just have to wait until Wine supports the function that the installer needs?

On a side note, what are the odds of it working if I copied the installed directory from Windows and put it in Wine?
