Question Winex error while running Colin McRae Rally 04


Hi,

I am having a dual boot PC with WinXP on NTFS and Fedora Core. Recently I installed the CVS build of WineX. I had already installed Colin Mc Rae Rally 04 on my Windows partition which is an NTFS drive. I logged in as root and copied that folder into my home directory. I gave the necessary permissions to other users since the files copied from an NTFS will not have sufficient permissions. Now I logged in as a normal user and started the game. I got the following error:

fixme:ver:GetVersionExA OSVERIONINFOA is too large (possibly OSVERSIONINFOEXA)
err:win32:do_relocations Standard load address for a Win32 program(0x00400000) not available-security patched kernel?
err:win32:do_relocations FATAL: need to relocate Y:\Colin Mc Rae Rally 04 Demo\cmr4.exe, but no relocation records present(stripped during link). Try to run that file directly!
wine:Can't exec 'cmr4.exe' : error=21

Any idea as to why I am getting these errors? Is it because of NTFS drives? I also get Segmentation faults while running Unreal Tournament though the game runs fine. Do I have to install this game from Linux itself?
Also, when I tried to install Empire Earth, I got a similar fault. What is the cause of this fault?

Thanks!

You'll need to actually get the program to install using Winex. Not just copy it over. If it wont install, it wont run.

I tried that too. But however, while trying to install a particular application, WineX exits with an error code of 21. Same relocation problem. Is this a problem with the CVS version generally? Is there any way to overcome this?

If it don't install. It don't work. That's basically it unless Winex reports it needs a certain dll or setting adjusted.
