xubuntu 12.04 + wine 1.4 + call of duty 5: isbew64.exe fails

[win3storm]

Hello,

I'm using:

• xubuntu 12.04
• wine 1.4 (newly installed)

and tried to install Call of Duty 5 (World at War).

Code: Select all

$ sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /path/to/cod5.iso /mnt/iso
// /mnt/iso is registered in winecfg as e: drive (CD-ROM)
$ wine e:\setup.exe

Everithing looked fine still process tried to finalizing installation:
...isbew64.exe conflicts with something and closed...
What is "something"? I don't know
Browsed a lot on google, but nowhere found any solution.

Can somebody help?

If you need more information, please ask on this way (this is the best way for me):
"post the output of $ command [option] [arguments]" or something llike this.

1.4 is old; upgrade to the latest development release.

The problem with isbew64 may be http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24611. Create a clean 32 bit wineprefix with

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winecfg

and install to that (substitute the actual path to the wineprefix). http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#wineprefix

1.4 is old; upgrade to the latest development release.

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winecfg

Code: Select all

wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '$HOME/.wine_wineprefix' is a 64-bit installation.

winecfg cannot start with this prefix

Of course it can't. You can't change the architecture of an existing wineprefix, you have to create a new one. If you want to use the default ~/.wine, you will have to delete it first, then recreate it with the WINEARCH variable set. If you do that you will delete anything you already have installed in it, which is why I told you to create a new wineprefix.

Did You mean like this way?:

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_prefix/ winecfg

This is not possible. If I remove all of wine and reinstall... I try, but... OK, I'm going to do.

I've reinstalled. Same result.
