Can't install a game

Post by 1Mono »

Hi :D I'm new to the forum and I'm a noob to wine :mrgreen:
I'm trying to install a game but I can't get through. Wine gives me an error at some part in the middle of the installation. I believe I just need to install something extra to wine to make it work.

What should happen (on windows 7) is that the installer should open a command prompt and extract the game components. Instead, it just gives out an error message and I have the backtrace.

I installed cmd.exe (which I found by chance in winetricks), now it doesn't give the error but it "closes itself" at that part, it just disappears with no errors.
I think it's just a missing component or something. I don't know if you can help me with just the backtrace but here it is and tell me what you need to know :)

Reinstall to a clean wineprefix (no winetricks) and post the full terminal output from that. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

What game is this?
