trying to run Dead Island/steam not working!!!!

Post by Kerias967` »

ok so I'm completely new to this wine stuff or mac for that matter. So here is my issue i have my game file unzipped and the icon is on my desktop i right click and show contents i open wine and click install software and go to my setup.exe folder and i get music but it only shows a bar with the close minimize buttons????? when i close the app i get this "No new executables found!
Maybe the installer failed...?
If you tried to install somewhere other than C: drive (drive_c in the wrapper) then you will get this message too. All software must be installed in C: drive." i feel im doing something wrong. so any advice is appreciated.

your using Wineskin which isn't supported here. I'm assuming your game installer isn't working right, but help on this fourm is for plain Wine usage only (which is build yourself and all command line on OSX)

Wineskin support forum is at...
