The following is my sysinfo... Gentoo Linux 32-bit current Nvidia Driver 260.19.12 (current) Wine version 1.3.5 I can install steam... once if starts updating it stops with the following. fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented. fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"root" (nil) 0x33f150 (nil) 0x33f154 0x33f148 - stub fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"root" 0x13af18 0x33f150 0x13c1d0 0x33f154 0x33f148 - stub fixme:msi:ControlEvent_SpawnWaitDialog Doing Nothing fixme:msi:ITERATE_CreateShortcuts poorly handled shortcut format, advertised shortcut fixme:msi:ITERATE_CreateShortcuts poorly handled shortcut format, advertised shortcut fixme:msi:ITERATE_CreateShortcuts poorly handled shortcut format, advertised shortcut fixme:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim (0x7ed3c60c L"fusion.dll", (nil), (nil), 0x33f938): semi-stub fixme:advapi:SetEntriesInAclA 1 0x33fcc8 (nil) 0x33fcec fixme:advapi:SetNamedSecurityInfoW L"C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\" 1 4 (nil) (nil) (nil) (nil) fixme:advapi:SetEntriesInAclA 1 0x33fcc8 (nil) 0x33fcec fixme:advapi:SetNamedSecurityInfoW L"MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Valve\\Steam" 4 4 (nil) (nil) (nil) (nil) fixme:service:QueryServiceObjectSecurity 0x121950 4 0x33f998 512 0x33fbd0 - semi-stub fixme:advapi:SetEntriesInAclA 1 0x33fbb0 0x33f9ac 0x33fbe0 fixme:service:SetServiceObjectSecurity 0x121950 4 0x33fb9c fixme:hnetcfg:fw_app_put_ProcessImageFileName 0x121c68, L"C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\\\Steam.exe" fixme:hnetcfg:fw_app_put_Name 0x121c68, L"Steam" fixme:hnetcfg:fw_apps_Add 0x121c20, 0x121c68 After I the install crashes/stops... I can run Steam.exe within it's home directory it seems to update.... then I get the fatal error can't run bin/vgui2.dll Every fix I found that works for other people does not work for me... I tried compiling a vanilla wine... but get even more errors then now. Here is the output when I get the vgui2.dll error. fixme:process:GetLogicalProcessorInformation ((nil),0x33e488): stub fixme:process:GetLogicalProcessorInformation (0xde0c00,0x33e488): stub CellID: Fetching server list from CSDS. . . fixme:process:SetProcessShutdownParameters (00000100, 00000000): partial stub. CellID: CSDS returned 171 servers. CellID: Connecting to 119.167.242.110:27031. . . CellID: Connect to 119.167.242.110:27031 took 336 MS CellID: Nothing beat our old best time of 32 MS Shutting down. . . I have no idea how to fix this since I've already tried all the fixes I found on forums, etc. Deleted *blob file, .wine directory... reinstalled... launched Steam.exe from it's own directory.. I still get the same vgui.dll error. Any help at all is appreciated.
