Anyone know where I can get the "American McGee's Alice" loki installer?


First of all, thanks to sdavis78 for the site containing the Call of Duty loki installer.
Now, if possible, I'd like the "American McGee's Alice" loki installer. Thanks to liflg.org (being sarcastic), they removed all wine/cedega loki installers. Alice does work with cedega, but I seem to have more issues with Cedega than those loki installers, or whatever you call them.

I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance

Only thing came up within two seconds of searching was http://home.coc-ag.de/dressler-ro/li...itlanguage.run and I don't know if it's available or working properly either.

looks like it'd be the right file, but the site is no good.

I tried, but it says no permission to access/use lib/games/ I could just try cedega, and hope it stays in good working order. i appreciate your help.

Change the destination folder to your home directory, or install as root.
Or give yourself permission to access /usr/lib/games.

I think I played Alice on linux way back when. That must have been Suse 9.3 or something. I don't remember any showstopping problems...

wow. I actually did it. being a noob, I had gotten lost, but I think I am understanding this more, being I was able to follow each step without a problem.
This just runs it I see. Is there some way this can be like a loki installer, or a shorter way to install it? I'm not being picky or snotty. I know it sounds like it. or I should say, I'm not ungrateful. I really am. that was fun and the game ran under wine. it's just, being a noob sort of, and all, I thought, is there a nice quick way to install this next time? partially because I may be using mandriva 2008 soon.
if not, that's cool. thank you for leading me to that site. it really was fun and it works!

If you don't want to do it again, I would suggest you keep the game and the wine directory.
I don't know why the loki installer didn't work - That would definitely be the easier way.

This is odd, and I have seen something like this before with Alice. When I had a loki installer of Alice, it showed the graphical version (or somewhat anyway), the way I figured it should be. Time went on, Alice was tossed out. I bought it again, downloaded the loki installer, and it looked very text-like, like something you'd see in a Microsoft's DOS program (which is what I got the last time; and it said 'access denied to lib/games or whatever.)
I re-downloaded that same file that you or someone has here, it's all the suddenly, the graphical style one.
Have you encountered that before?
It apparently works just fine, that file you or someone showed me. just not sure why it showed the text-like version.
well anyways,
thank you very much. seems all is working, loki installer and all

or maybe not...

[jeremy@localhost ~]$ sh runalice
/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega/gddb.py:19: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module gddb_parser: This Python has API version 1013, module gddb_parser has version 1012.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega/ISOHeader.py", line 67, in __init__
dev = open(device)
IOError: [Errno 123] No medium found: '/dev/hdd'
[jeremy@localhost ~]$

I may have an idea or two, quite the noob, but maybe I'll get this going.
