MYST installer can't find mystmpc.inf that is present

[mpurtell]

When I run the myst installer using wine, it can't find mystmpc.inf which is in the same folder as install.exe. How do I let wine know to include the install folder in the search for this file?
The only note I can find about paths is this

Code: Select all

export WINEVERPATH=$W
export PATH=$W/bin:$PATH 
export WINESERVER=$W/bin/wineserver
export WINELOADER=$W/bin/wine
export WINEDLLPATH=$W/lib/wine/fakedlls
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$W/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

But this isn't for different wineprefixes.
This is my script so far

Code: Select all

#/bin/bash
Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 800x600x8 & DISPLAY=:1 xterm
wine /home/mandbx/mystinstall/install.exe -- :1

Code: Select all

wine /home/mandbx/mystinstall/install.exe -- :1

You need to use wine start /unix when using a unix-style path.

Here's the script I'm running which includes the modified line to use wine start /unix as recommended but the installer still can't find the .inf which is in the same folder as the install.exe (on the CD)

Code: Select all

#/bin/bash
export WINEVERPATH=$W
export PATH=$W/bin:$PATH 
export WINESERVER=$W/bin/wineserver
export WINELOADER=$W/bin/wine
export WINEDLLPATH=$W/lib/wine/fakedlls
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$W/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 800x600x8 & DISPLAY=:1 sleep 5
wine start /unix /media/mandbx/MYST/install.exe -- :1

Any other ideas?
thanks, Mike

You do know Myst runs on a git build of scummvm now?

Also myst runs fine using a windows 3.1 install on dosbox

My disk is a win 3.1 version but trying to run it from dosbox, I get an error that says it needs windows. Is there a way to get dosbox to spoof win 3.1?
I haveb't tried scunvm yet.

Windows 3.1 was just a DOS app. You can install it in DOSBox. To do that you do need to have it in a format that a modern computer can read.

The long way around, linux MX-15 running Dosbox to run win 3.1 to load Myst. To think I almost tossed those 6 floppies last December.
