Trying to get Empire Earth working

[Falc7]

Hi
I am trying to get EE to work http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=2174
I am using Hardy Heron, and the newest version of wine
On that page it says
Running the game:

-Use the native msvcrt.dll

-disable DirectMusic

do this by setting the following Registry key to "0":

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SSSI\Empire Earth\Music Enabled

How do i do these things? i looked under configure wine, then audio, but where do i disable direct music?

So wine makes a registery for itself. I didn't know

Would using this be okay:

Wine has its own regedit. Use that. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-903eaf8 ... 9336828473

ah yes thanks, edited the registry entry

when it says -Use the native msvcrt.dll What does this mean and how do i do it?

It needs the real Windows dll. Copy the file to Wine's windows/system32 directory and set the override on the Libraries tab in winecfg, or use winetricks to install it: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

Ok i have copied msvcrt.dll from windows into wine's system (does this mean other applications can't use wine's msvcrt?) replacing wine's original msvcrt.dll, and set the over ride tab added the correct .dll, and set msvrct.dll to 'native then builtin'. Did i do everything there right?

The application now works fine, except the mouse is extremely insensitive (something that didn't happen pre-rc4), anything i can do about that in wine?

*cough* anyone know? Did i do that right?

Well, since you say your app is now working, I'd say you did.

As for your question about whether other apps now can't use Wine's msvcrt, that depends on how you set the override. If you set it for the default settings, then all other apps installed to that wineprefix will use the native msvcrt unless you change them individually. If you just set the override for this app (i.e., added it to the Applications tab, and had it selected when you went to the Libraries tab), then msvcrt will be overridden only for this app.

About the mouse, that I don't know.
