Ultima Online - Kingdom Reborn

Ultima Online is currently beta testing a new release which will have a 3d client based on the Kingdom Reborn release.

In preparation, I am trying to load Kingdom Reborn to learn the client but it crashes in Wine when it hits the installation wizard. Has anyone worked through any tricks to make this install and run?

It crashes almost immediately after unpacking the archive and starting the install.. It just gives a windows error of "Setup has encountered a problem", suggests checking things like internet connection and disk space.

It then gives a error code of -5001

Wine version? If it's newer then wine-1.1.17, then downgrade, or try current GIT.

bump.. any help? Should I update wine or are there any tricks to getting this to work?

I've heard rumors of folks getting KR to run under wine but can't seem to find them.

Upgrade. Try with wine-1.1.24.

This is getting a lot further. The first step of the install wizard wants to install Microsoft DirectX, am I supposed to install that? It gets through but seems to hang once the directx install finishes.

Usually no, unless your game installer insists on installing it. Native DX (in most part) won't work on Wine with exception of few secondary dlls.

Try with fresh ~/.wine directory. If still doesn't work, post terminal output.
