Driver Problems.

Hi,

I am trying to install a driver for my xbox 360 controller with Wine, but it won't install as I don't have SP1 or SP2 for XP installed. How, if it can be done, do I install or change my wine to have SP1 or SP2 installed. I am not a coder or a programmer, so if it can be done, I'd like it as simple as possible, I know this might not be the case, but if needs be, I can follow instructions well.

Many thanks,

Rooger

Don't even go there. None of those things will work under Wine. (By the
way, if a program doesn't think SP2 is installed, it's a bug. File one
at http://bugs.winehq.org .)

Your question is moot because even if you could install the drivers,
they won't work at all under Wine. Right now, you have to install a
driver for the host OS, whatever that might be. Remember, Google is your
friend.

Wine cannot use Windows Drivers. You will have to locate a Linux Driver
for this controller.

Thanks for the replies fellas, I have looked for a Linux driver and it's all for Ubuntu none for Fedora Core 15 lol and as I said, I am not a coder or programmer so I don't understand what it wants me to do and even if it will work in FC15.

Thanks for the help though

You might want to look at the RPMFusion project then if the driver does
not come in the Fedora 15 package (FC has been deprecated since about FC
7 or so.)

Unless you are wedded to using Fedora, you might want to look into using
another distribution as well.
