Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas doesn't install

Post by P3rzyL4mp3r »

Good morning/afternoon/evening. I hope this is not against the forum rules. Well, I tried to install the first retail version of GTA San Andreas, and this was the result (extracted from log file):
002c:err:ole:TLB_ReadTypeLib Loading of typelib L"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\InstallShield\\Professional\\RunTime\\IsProBE.tlb" failed with error 2
002e:err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {00020424-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} not registered

I can't understand what is happening here. Could someone please explain it to me?
By the way, my wine version is 5.0 and my OS is Linux Mint 20.2

Wine 5.0 is already a few years old, and the development of Wine is moving very fast.
The instructions for upgrading Wine to version 8.x can be found here (Use the winehq-focal.sources file).

If updating still does not work, try installing the game using a 32-bit Wineprefix.

Hey jkfloris, thank you. I'm glad it worked. You (the staff) can close the topic now.
