Cannot install aok (Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings) on Wine

Post by AleCes »

Hi there,

I'm running Wine 1.3.28 on Ubuntu Oneiric and I cannot manage to get aok installed. The installation routinely freezes immediately after the program starts to copy the first file, the message that pops up says there isn't enough space on disk (clearly a false statement) or that the folder is being used by some other program (which one?).

Thanks for your help.

It's better if you run the installation from the console, then copy its messages to here.

:shock: But... Ubuntu software center only displays 1.2 and 1.3, and it even says 1.3 is a beta version. :?:

Hi Alex, is your request still valid even if the version I'm running is obsolete?

That can help even on an obsolete version of wine. This is the best
way to debug problems.

Strange output.
Where is the command to the executable? Have you just deleted those lines?
Can't realize how the installation can be linked with the ALSA and sound... )

Which file from the disk you trying to launch?

ir41-32.ax belongs to Intel Indeo Codec, I dunno, probably executable require to play some video in background within installation process. :?

First, try to get Intel Indeo Codec:

Code: Select all

winetricks icodecs

Look if you want, you may took it from torrent, since you have legal CD, it will be not a crime. :)

Got downloaded torrent unpacked launched it with aoesetup.exe and installation was passed until the finish without any problems.

See the PM for the link where I got it. It works fine on my PC.

LOL :D

I'm sorry! I forget to check what I'm writing when in a hurry...
meant:
- Got the torrent
- Unpacked the archive inside of the folder
- Launched aosetup.exe

One more I recommend (maybe the problem is a CD integrity) is this:

Try to copy all its contents to your hard drive, then launch aoesetup.exe from there.

Old CD, you know...

OK, thanks guys, first of all I'll check the integrity of the CD, then I'll try with your link. I'll let you know.

OK, the installation via iso worked, I also installed The Conquerors, but now I cannot manage to get the game started!!! Wine tells me age2_x1.exe has created serious trouble and must be stopped. :shock:

N.B: both AOK and AOE were patched.
