Install Location Dialog during Installation is not shown

Post by S.A.L. »

Hi everybody,

I'm new to wine, so excuse me if I ask questions that are already answered anywhere on the website. But I don't now for what exactly I have to search. I tried different terms in the search, but I've got no satisfying result.

My Problem: I've installed wine on debian 6 (squeeze) from the official sources. The wine version is 1.0.1.
I tried to install Ultima Online High Seas. But it hangs on the screen where I have to choose the install location. I've added two screenshots: The first is the step before I have to choose the install location, the second is the step (who would have thought that) where I have to choose the install location.
What happens is, that the screen does not update its content (if I open an other window in front of this dialog and close this window, the dialog shows the content of the closed window).

Like I said: I'm new to wine. So I have no idea where I have to begin my error-analysis. Does anybody knows such a problem? If not, how can i figure it out? Can I change DLLs? Are there special configuration parameters I can set? Can I enter a debug-mode that shows me more error-information?

I will be glad to get any tiny bit of information that can help me to solve this problem :) But please, don't tell me I should use a newer Wine version ;) My goal is to get this problem solved with the standard debian wine-version. Only if this seems to be impossible I will try a new wine-version.

Kind regards and many thanks in advance,
Steffen

I know you don't want to hear this, but the Wine version you are using is almost 5 years old and has not been supported here for a long time. For all we know the problem you are seeing in 1.0.1 may have already been fixed, but the only way to find out is to test the game in current Wine. If the problem is present in current Wine, the first step to solving it would be to file a bug.

You are, of course, free to spend your time as you wish. Some reading to get you started:
