Baldurs Gate II

[Mindrifter]

When I downloaded Baldur's Gate II it wouldn't let me install it because it "was not marked as executable" So I ran it in the terminal and this debug thing came up

I'm new to Linux and I'm not exactly sure how to troubleshoot.

did you check permissions on the file before starting to install it? is the game folder your pwd (present working directory)? or are you running the commands from another directory?

[Mindrifter]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I tried to launch it with wine and it said it was marked as not executable.

[doh123]

downloaded it?

are you sure it even works?

[Mindrifter]

It was a platinum game under free to use

free to use where? I don't think they ever started giving it away... though it is a very old game. I was wondering if you knew that your download actually worked... have you put it on a Windows machine? it may be corrupt or who knows what else.

I just am not sure what the error means.. and I have the game and it installs and plays fine in Wine.

I got it from the AppDB

Maybe run game "native" http://gemrb.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku. ... tart#gemrb

If you need just "install" game maybe use "unshield" (InstallShield CAB file extractor )
