Can't instlal windowscodecs

Post by aethersis »

Hello,
I've been struggling with installation of windowscodecs for a few days and I can't find a workaround. I'm doing it using winetricks. I have a clean installation of Wine 1.6 on Xubuntu 14.04. I tried before with 13.10 and Wine 1.4, however the problem was exactly the same. Here is exactly what follows when I try to install it:

Code: Select all

------------------------------------------------------
Executing w_do_call windowscodecs
Executing load_windowscodecs
Using native override for following DLLs: windowscodecs windowscodecsext
Executing winetricks_early_wine regedit C:\windows\Temp\_windowscodecs\override-dll.reg
------------------------------------------------------
Working around wine bug 32859 -- Working around possibly broken libX11
------------------------------------------------------
Executing taskset -c 0 wine wic_x86_enu.exe /passive
fixme:clusapi:GetNodeClusterState ((null),0x33ebf4) stub!
fixme:advapi:DecryptFileA ("y:\\47315ee7bf7f35a82e895495009e0b49\\", 00000000): stub
fixme:setupapi:pSetupGetGlobalFlags stub
------------------------------------------------------
Note: command 'taskset -c 0 wine wic_x86_enu.exe /passive' returned status 67.  Aborting.
------------------------------------------------------
Please, could you help me solve this problem? I don't really want to use Windows 7 anymore just to play Jedi Academy or KoTOR 2, because these games can run smoothly through Wine, and windowscodecs appears to be the only problem that stops the games from running.

Upgrade Wine to 1.7.18, make sure you have the latest winetricks from http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/tr ... winetricks, and install to a clean 32 bit wineprefix. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#32_bit_wineprefix.
