lol.launcher.exe encountered a serious problem

Post by elijah2236 »

Hi,
I'm completely new to Wine. I hope you can help me with my problem.
(I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, wine 1.4.1)

Today I tried to install League Of Legends
This is the exact error I get:

Code:
The program lol.launcher.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

I have this problem with all of my files and i would really like this to be resolved,
Thanks,
Elijah2236

You should update to the latest development version and give us terminal output

Hi elijah2236,

To do so (upgrade to the latest wine-devel), I would suggest to install over MacPorts:

1) Type in Terminal: sudo port selfupdate (enter your admin password)
2) After the selfupdate, enter: sudo port install wine-devel (the latest version on MacPorts is 1.5.18)
--> this can take quite e long time (up to hours) depending on how many dependecies all already installed
3) Change into the directory where your .exe-file is stored: cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/NAME_OF_DIRECTORY/
4) To make sure your .exe-file is stored in this directory, enter: ls (lists all the files in that directory)
5) Run the .exe-file with wine: wine .exe-file

Hope this is working out for you ;)

Cheers mate,
Maexel
