Installing games
 
hey guys
well ive got cedega running, with battlefield 1942.

but the only problem im having, is that i installed BF1942 as root.

and when i try to install it as a normal user, (cedega /mnt/cdrom/Setup.exe) i get an error something like:

"an installation support file - blah blah could not be installed."

it does this about three "bars" into the installation initialisation (the bit with the splash screen)

yet it installs fine as root.

any ideas?

its just i dont really fancy running a game as root ;)

thanks alot
Kane

Make sure the user account has "execute" permissions within the CD drive.

sorry to be a newb but,

surely if that was the case .... then the installer wouldnt startup at all?

i'll have a look tho. thanks
