red alert with wine... anyone?

Hey guys,

I found this on google of someone claiming to have gotten Red Alert to work under wine:
http://ra.afraid.org/html/extra/linuxra.html

However, I get this error:

Code:

gnychis@monster ~ $ wine /usr/share/games/redalert/ra95.exe 
err:thunk:_loadthunk (THIPX16.DLL, Thipx_ThunkData16, THIPX32.DLL): Unable to load 'THIPX16.DLL', error 2
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk "thipx32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\usr\\share\\games\\redalert\\ra95.exe" failed, status c0000142

I have it set to windows 95 in winecfg

Thanks!
George

Here's the official WineHQ AppDB page for Red Alert. See if that helps any.

doh

Code:

The game does not run correctly on SMP PCs (more than one CPU core or HyperThreading enabled); HyperThreading can be disabled in the BIOS setup.

that may be my problem

ok 3rd time posting here. I keep getting errors n stuff.

short n sweet....
I'm new to linux (3 hrs useage so far), installed it to play C&C red alert. Installed WINE kinda, well I think I did. I followed some info to put stuff into the console and after 10mins looked like it was done. Cant find it or what to do next.

how do you get wine to emulate win95 instead of xp?
