[Bug 35245] New: Unable to install Red Alert (C&C) because the setup reports wrong Windows version
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35245 Bug ID: 35245 Summary: Unable to install Red Alert (C&C) because the setup reports wrong Windows version Product: Wine Version: 1.7.8 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: florian.angermeier(a)desaster-games.com Classification: Unclassified I have tried to install the Windows 95 version of Red Alert (C&C) and got stuck in the setup process because it found Windows version 5.1 (XP) instead of the needed 95 version. After I had looked into the Wine Configuration I found out that the lowest version to set is Windows XP. Is it possible to bring the possibility back to set the Windows version lower than XP? I guess there more setups and programs which fail to get past the version check.

Where did you download your wine from? -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

You are probably on 64-bit host hence the WINEPREFIX will be created as 64-bit. There lowest possible 64-bit Windows version is "Windows XP" so this restriction is intended. If your game requires Win9X mode you need to create a 32-bit WINEPREFIX where all 'old' Windows versions are available. This can be controlled by setting 'WINEARCH' environment variable to 'win32' before creating the prefix (needs to be set only once - during initial creation). --- snip --- $ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/some/path winecfg (set windows version to 'Win95') $ WINEPREFIX=/some/path wine ./setup.exe (setup runs in 32-bit prefix) --- snip --- Regards -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
