Wine 1.0 rc1 & Anarchy Online & Ubuntu 8.04

[Sndk]

Hello there,

I just installed HH 8.04 and Wine 1.0 rc-1, i downloaded the 850mb exe file Anarchy Online game, i installed it properly and when i want to launch it, see the screenshot ... i have no /Prefs directory so i created on and chmoded the whole /Funcom directory but i still have this problem.

If someone knows why, let me know please.



thanks much.

Don't see the "Prefs" directory there. I thought you said you created it there? Create it, and see what hapenes.

You should not need to chmod any of the directories in .wine unless YOU
ARE RUNNING AS ROOT. This is HIGHLY not suggested as problems can and
do occur.

As to the absence of the /Prefs directory, this may be because you
installed the program as root. Vitamin gave one suggestion that may or
may not work,

Here is my suggestion:

rm -rf ~/wine (it is corrupt and will have to be removed as root if the
above applies)

log out of root and log in as a regular user

wine notepad.exe

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/

look for the directory for your program. It should not be present

cd <program_install_directory>

wine setup.exe (or what ever program it uses to install) to install the
program.

Run the program and the Prefs directory should be created this time.

One rule that I keep is to never run Wine as ROOT. It has a tendency to
mess things up.

I'd like to point me where do you see him running as root? Are you seeing things that don't exist? Or you don't see the ownership on all the files listed?

Next time I'll just remove posts like that that have nothing to do with what person is doing or asking.

[Sndk]

keep cool
yes i chmoded but as sndk - not as root -.

in any way, i installed the game under XP, it's a commun error, but under XP the error go out and the install continue, another frenchy gave me a link to wine/AO and they all said : AO does not patch under linux, i have to patch manually so this error is not a real one.

I will continue tomorrow, ill patch manualy and see whats append.
i may reinstall the whole game because of the chmod, i would like to start from stock, it's easier if i have a problem.

Thanks for your answers guys - see u in 2 or 3 days.

AO has a problem with Wine's HTML/IE implementation (I forget the actual
piece that errors out, atm). But, if you install IEs4Linux, and set the
appropriate prefix when running AO, it will work. i.e., start it with:

'WINEPREFIX="/home/username/.ies4linux/ie6" wine Anarchy.exe'

-J

[Sndk]

oh thanks evil jay, i didnt know a IE like was coded under linux ...
i'll try your solution and see what's append.

thanks much !
