Second try with wine. Currently not having success installing anything (GW, Medieval2, or IL-2). Focusing on IL-2 because it's still listed as Gold, and the other apps seem known not to work with ver 1.1.23... Attempted install from right-click>Open With Wine Windows Program Loader Also attempted install from terminal. Both attempts failed at same stage. Progresses through dialogue asking for install path & then gives error window indicating error with IDriver.exe (attached - screenie).
