Hi Mr Fredd Have you tried running the F.E.A.R. update from the command line with pwd set as the same path, eg: Code: cd <update_directory> wine update.exe I presume you are not using a Wine prefix for the initial F.E.A.R. install? I don't think you need to run Winecfg any more to create the Wine registry files. I usually run it anyway (after creating a new Wine prefix) just to be on the safe side... Bob
