Wine vs Frontline Kursk

Tarzan1984 · 04-18-2009, 03:42 PM

Hi.
I'm trying to run game called "Frontline Kursk" using Wine 1.1.18.
Every time when I'm starting game, from menu or using game.exe in folder where is installed the game I get this error:

Code:

------------------------------ Information ------------------------------

[Error In
[Disc Labels]
FRONTLINE

[System Information]
Unable to gather system information using MSINFO32.EXE

When I'm trying by console I got this:

Code:

[tarzan@localhost ~]$ wine '/home/tarzan/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Frontline-Kursk/bin/game.exe'
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element

err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\Frontline-Kursk\\bin\\game.exe" failed, status c0000142

I've founded this http://www.codeweavers.com/support/t...cket_id=104923 but I don't undestand exactly what this guy want to explain.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks

Well, it looks like your program wants to access or use MSINFO32.EXE. That exe is not supplied by or replaced by Wine, so you're stuck. If you can find that exe and place it in ~/cxoffice/lib/wine (in lowercase with .so), then you can proceed to the next error.

The link suggested fooling the program by copying the notepad.exe.so over and renaming it to msinfo32.exe.so, the theory being that then at least the program would have a file to access, albeit the wrong file. Might work if the program doesn't actually need anything from msinfo32 and is just checking it for something trivial it can do without.

Is that any clearer?
