Error 1603

Post by Primus »

I am trying to install Rome: Total War (which should work fine it has golden
mark on WineHQ) But when it starts to prepare for installation i get error
1603 and says that I have to consult windows installer helper or MSDN.
I had similar problem before but then it was because I wanted to instal on unmounted drive not this is not the case, so I really don't know how to resolve this.

What Wine version? Post the output of the terminal including exact command you used to start the installation.
