Hi !

I have a problem installing the game Call Of Duty in Winex3.1.1. After confirming the CD key, it can't read the file F:\docs\DOCS\licence.rtf, and the installation aborts..... When looking at it; there is no F:\docs\DOCS\licence.rtf - path. The cd contains only F:\docs\licence.rtf... ??
Is there a way to edit this ? in a config file sort of....?


Thanx !

Best regards
Ole

Hi there,

Tough I have debian linux and tried CoD instalation on wine (haven't tried winex jet), I have the same problem. After key verification and few questions about license and destination directories instalation crashes while attempting to copy files from cdrom to destination directory. Startling thing is that it looks for the first file in the $CDROM$:\docs\DOCS\licence.rtf path instead of $CDROM$:\Docs\\licence.rtf. Where does this additional "docs" directory come from?

Looking forward for any ideas

Hi, ErrantOne !

I think there might be a configuration/installation issue...... I've been reading a few boards about this and found out that there must be a package to be compiled with Winex before Winex are ready for installation. I'm not sure about this, but I think the binary package are the one with the .rpm ending (ex.; winex3-3.1.1.rpm) and then you need the source package which I'm not sure about what is...., but I seen a lot of talking about CVS package for the Winex, but as I said I may be far out of orbit with this theory..... so maybe someone who knows could tell us ? :-) I'm pretty helpless right now....

- http://www.winehq.org/site/cvs I've heard that the CVS is pretty hard to install.....

Is Winex really that difficult to handle? or is it easier than we think :-)

One thing.... I installed the ordinary Wine for Mandrake (search the net and you'll find the right version to your system), and got it to work. Notepad and everythig.... :-) The Installation of CoD looked ok (for a while since I past the *.rtf error in Winex). The installation really took of. Then.... inserting disc 2, things wasn't right.... The program didn't recognize cd2 and the installation aborted..... :-( I later got information on why and how you could fix this.... It's a known problem for CoD in Wine/Winex.

And one thing is for sure: We need Winex. That one is best for gaming ! Wine is for applications and stuff..... (I think, hehe)

Here's some links were i got my information from:

- www.Winehq.org
- http://liflg.sourceforge.net
- www.transgaming.com
- www.linuxbasis.com

.....and a bunch of forums ;-)
