When i try to install Half life 2 i'm getting this error:
lars@Lars:/mnt/cdrom$ cedega setup.exe
Could not stat /home/lars/.transgaming/c_drive (No such file or directory), ignoring drive C:
Invalid path 'c:\windows' for windows directory: does not exist
Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file.
This is (supposed to be) '/home/lars/.transgaming/config'
lars@Lars:/mnt/cdrom$
If you want to install a Windows executable to Linux, then you'll need an additional layer. From a quick search at www.winehq.org, it doesn't appear to that HL2 is supported fully, however you could try Transgaming's Cedega product if you're very keen (http://transgaming.org/gamesdb/games...l?game_id=3189).
When i try with Cedega i'm getting this error: ( Now )
@Lars:/mnt/cdrom# cedega setup.exe
Warning: Language 'us' was not recognized, defaulting to English
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Oops, top marks to me for not reading your original post carefully enough...
The second error you're getting implies that you're running the Cedega installation as root, when root doesn't have access to X. Try the following (as a regular user)
Code:
kdesu cedega setup.exe
#or, if you're using Gnome:
gksu cedega setup.exe

Maybe is there somebody who can help me..
Greets,

Did you try to run cedega alone before attempting any game installation and after installing the package? That will create the necesary symlinks and copy the necesary files for you to properly operate Cedega. Try that.

That doesn't help much as Cedega (as Windows) does not require you to have administrative rights in the system to be able to install whatever you want.
