cvscedega: issues with MSI installers

Ace07 · 02-17-2005, 12:45 AM

So I downloaded cvscedega, cedega, and wine and none of them can run MSI files. I have tried running the MSI installer and this is what shows up:

Code:

(Using this very limited tutorial)
(NOTE: This is after a fresh install of CVS cedega using this tutorial)

Then the installer just tells me that there was an "unexpected" error.

Anyways, I can get other games to work (SOF2, Starcraft, Wc3), just games that need MSI support can't be installed at all. Has anyone encountered this type of issue with cvscedega/cedega/wine before?

And if anyone knows how to fix this that would be great... (I really wanna get Warhammer: Dawn of War installed)

Well heres some info on Hammer for you... Seems it has issues but my work. I have no clue about the cvscedega, all these people here have subscriptions and use Cedega 4.2.1. So that may be your only luck getting it to work with Warhammer.

ok, I've tried running this, and the install program fails with error

1603: Error Installing Windows Installer engine. A file which needs to be replaced may be held in use. Close all applications and try again.

This is what happens to me...and other people seem to mention the same type of issues. I don't know if subscribing with fix them....but maybe.....

Quote:

1.) Subscribed to Trangaming
2.) Installed point2play with Cedega 4.1
3.) Installed the game successfully with this configuration, "remove cd limitations"
4.) Upon running the game, iphlpapi.dll found to be missing
5.) Checked out the cvs version of winex
6.) Applied patches at http://lists.transgaming.org/piperma...er/000408.html
7.) ./configure && make
8.) moved the ./dlls/libiphlpapi.so into ~/.point2play/.winex_ver/winex-4.1/winex/lib/. in the Cedega 4.1
9.) Game works very well (as suggested set winver=win98 to reduce choppiness in movies)

I might be able to find another way around this though.

I will report back if I do.

Snipersnest · 02-17-2005, 11:28 AM

all that info is fine for the older versions of Cedega... But if you refer to the www.transgaming.org/forums people have it running without doing all that.. Not to mention the error was probably fixed already in version 4.2.1

Ace07 · 02-17-2005, 02:00 PM

So...I tried using point2play with cedega, and that doesn't work either (as I suspected). Something is really messed up when it comes to installing this game, and I am not entirely sure what.

No matter what I do i still get:

1603: Error installing Windows Installer engine. A file which needs to be replaced may be held in use. Close all applications and try again.

(BTW:

3.) Installed the game successfully with this configuration, "remove cd limitations"

Does anyone know how to enable this option in point2play? I couldn't find it. ><)

Ok refer to this link on TransGaming...FarCry also seems to give this error.
http://transgaming.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1234

Then Refer to this link that was posted in that thread:

Thanks, that fixed it.

Who would have known that:

vm.legacy_va_layout = 1

would have fixed it?

The irony here is that I executed the command a long time ago, but NEVER change the config file, so I forgot completely about this. The command I was reset once I rebooted later in the day. I thought it was still enabled so.....

Thanks for the help though, I got Dow to work wonderfully.
