Hi, I'm trying to run AACW (and WIA) under Ubuntu 8.10 x84. I installed Wine 1.1.18, Winetricks and installed AACW and patched the game up to 1.13b. Unfortenately, the game won't start because of an error ("Exception EAccessViolation dans le module AACW.exe dans 00004054. Violation d'access a l'adresse 00404054 dans le module 'AACW.exe'. Lecture de l'adresse 00002E9B.) followed by "Runtime error 216 at 00403E8A". As far as I know, Wine doesn't need a seperate DirectX installation but I tried to follow a tutorial I found over at AGEod's forums which adviced winetricks to install DirectXe. Unfortenately, DirectX installation fails as well: maik@maik-desktop:~$ sh winetricks directx9 Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/maik', starting in the Windows directory.
