Hi, I've been having a problem with a game under Wine that had similar symptoms - a status file saying it couldn't find some files. A friend showed me how to solve the problem by cd'ing to the game's directory before starting Wine. Now the game runs perfectly. I don't know if this would help you, but he said he's seen it on a lot of Windows games. If you have this problem with the installer, you may need to copy the CD contents to a directory, cd there, and then run the installer. This problem seems akin to Wine not having the 'Start in:' entry from the Windows shortcut for starting the game. Good luck, Mark _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
