PhysX on 64bit systems

Post by ozymandius »

Hello all. Has anyone managed to install PhysX on a 64bit Karmic system? I'm running on the 185.18.36 NVIDIA drivers and wine 1.1.32 and keep getting the following error while trying to install (either using the game's installer or through the exe downloaded from the NVIDIA site):

err:msi:ACTION_CallDllFunction failed to load dll L"C:\\windows\\temp\\msi939.tmp" (998)

Any help? Thanks a ton...

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I had tried winetricks as well. I get the same error:

err:msi:ACTION_CallDllFunction failed to load dll L"C:\\windows\\temp\\msi95d.tmp" (998)

Any help?

Upgrading to 1.1.33 does not seem to make a difference either. The error message again comes up:

err:msi:ACTION_CallDllFunction failed to load dll L"C:\\windows\\temp\\msi66a4.tmp" (998)

PhysX not installing using Crossover Games 8.1.4

Post by Paal Joachim »

Hi

I installed Dragon Age through Crossover Games 8.1.4, but at the end it suddenly quits when it tries to install PhysX. With the error message saying "You may want to check http://appbd.winehq.org for tips about running this application."

The game runs but the Graphics Detail must be set at Low or else it will crash.

How can I install PhysX with Crossover Games?

Thanks!

I forgot to say that I am using my Macbook Pro with 4 gigs of ram running the latest update of Snow Leopard.

Crossover isn't supported here. This forum is for plain Wine. Ask on the Crossover forum.

As a previous post said, in plain Wine, use winetricks to install PhysX.
