Re: [Wine] Transport Tycoon Deluxe for Windows installation failure / Wine-20050930

[Liam Kurmos]

I've got wine up.

I think the 'strike-through upcase
letter W' s are a red herring as they don't appear on my system and are
probably locale related.

Other than that clicking install just give an egg timer for a few
seconds, (which you can do repeatedly), and nothing happens.
Same there?

manually creating the install directory doesnt help, though I wouldnt be
suprised if this turns out to be an IO related problem.

not sure what the next thing to try is, work on getting a trace of
what's going on I think. (this maybe my first serious venture into
debugging something on wine, I'll CC the devel list and see if someone
can give a newbie some pointers)

will persue it further tomorrow.

[Wine] Transport Tycoon Deluxe for Windows installation failure / Wine-20050930

[Jonathan Wilson]

I believe the strikethrough uppercase W is a korean Won sign.
There is an article on one of the microsoft blogs (which I cant get to 
right now) that explains why the Yen and Won signs have this relationship 
with the backslash.

In Korean Windows, the won sign is used instead of \ in pathes, and is 
in the same place on the keyboard as \ should be on an US/en keyboard.

The truth is, I'm on Hungarian locale.
The backslash is on RightAlt-q.

I tried to run it as "LANG=en_US wine setup.exe" and
"unset LANG ; wine setup.exe" just to be sure.
Same problem, so it's not the locale.

Yes, exactly. Sometimes it gives me a messagebox about DirectX couldn't
be installed which I cannot quote exactly as I cannot persuade it to
give it now.
