EADM & Warhammer Online

Under Winecfg, I set my "E:" (secondary hard drive designation from Windows) to be readable as "H:" by Wine.

I already have EADM installed in /media/disk/Program Files/Electronic Arts/EADM
(hard disik one).

When trying to load from terminal via "Wine" command it just calls up a screen when I tell it to execute "EADM/Core.exe" that complains it needs flash & asks permission to load a page in my web-browser. Doesn't actually do that. The web-browser is oblivious of what this program is trying to do.

The DL files for Warhammer Online are located in /media/disk2/EADM.

Gosh, do I have to buy a physical copy of the game on disc to install or can I use EADM?
(I wanna play it on Ubuntu. Right now I can play on XP, but I miss all the cool Linux stuff when I'm booted on XP!)

BTW, Warhammer Online is saved on /media/disk2/Program Files/Electronic Arts/Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning.

Are you running that from a windows install? It's unclear if you are,
but that won't work.

Yes, the current installation of Warhammer Online is a Windows install.

I've got a HUGE amount of space leftover on the extra hard drive so I don't mind installing again. But EADM seems broken with Wine... I really don't want to buy the game again... even though I can give the discs to a friend after I install it in Ubuntu...

Don't do this.

File a bug, don't run it from windows.
