| 134415 | 2003-04-08 14:59:00 | Having a read through the FAQ at the official site... arning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working directory /mnt/cdrom; starting in windows directory. Invalid path 'multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows' for windows directory: does not exist Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file. This is (supposed to be) '/home/powaki/.wine/config' what does this mean? |

| 134417 | 2003-04-08 21:33:00 | You have correctly installed the rpm right? su - rpm -ivh winex.2.2-2.1386.rpm Then, change into the directory, like /mnt/cdrom winex Setup.EXE (Being case sensitive can be a pain when windows users make the files with different capitalisations!) And you should be peachy! What WineX does is creates a folder in the root's home directory called transgaming_drive Then itemulates a C:\ Drive in there, with the My Document, Prgoram Files, and Windows direcories! Get back if you still have problems :-) Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 134418 | 2003-04-10 00:21:00 | Ah I got it installed alright. First time I did it I double-clicked on the rpm file and it seemed to install fine with the Mandrake Package Manager. But yea it wouldn't run so I did what you said Chilling, and typed that in the console. The winex website didn't have that "-ivh" bit in there, it had something else and it the website was wrong! So now its running fine. I tried installing a few games however and they both freeze up on install.. Half Life for example, gets to the very end of the install and freezes completely. Dark Reign 2 freezes at the start. I'm pretty sure half life is supported, it is quite popular, so I'm wondering whats going on?? |

| 134420 | 2003-04-10 08:17:00 | Goto the homepage and see if the game is supported.. Ive played games that arent listed there mind you... Half-Life, I'll give that a shot later next week. I have played Quake 2 very fine though :-) |
