[Bug 26463] New: "18 Wheels of Steel" won't launch, says "There is no Windows program configured to open this kind of file."
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26463 Summary: "18 Wheels of Steel" won't launch, says "There is no Windows program configured to open this kind of file." Product: Wine Version: 1.3.15 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: shdocvw AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: dank(a)kegel.com This is a Valuesoft DVD-rom title from 2007. It install fine, but the menu item it installs doesn't work, it just puts up a dialog that says "There is no Windows program configured to open this kind of file." That icon tries to do wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\ Menu/Programs/Games\ Of\ The\ Month/18\ Wheels\ of\ Steel\ Big\ City\ Rigs/18\ Wheels\ of\ Steel\ American\ Longhaul.lnk That .lnk file points to C:\Program Files\Games Of The Month\18 Wheels of Steel Big City Rigs\18 Wheels of Steel American Long Haul\Play.hta .hta is an "html application", a trusted .html file; see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536496(v=vs.85).aspx (The .hta doesn't do anything particularly useful; it just uses vbscript and WShell to launch alh.exe, like the verschluggener icon should have, so the workaround is pretty easy: point the icon at alh.exe. The .hta might do one little useful thing: center the window on the screen.) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email 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.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26463 --- Comment #1 from Dan Kegel <dank(a)kegel.com> 2011-03-17 23:20:13 CDT --- (The free download at http://www.contendogames.com/highlights/garbage-truck-sim/ seems to exhibit a slightly more modern version of the problem, involving javascript rather than vbscript. Wine at least puts up a window showing the html source.) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email 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.

Development recommends to check the status on your bug every release or two and let to be known if the bug is still present. If not, mark it fixed. If you are no longer able to put effort to this ticket, you can abandon it. Is this still an issue with 1.7.2 or higher ? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email 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.

The second app, 'Garbage Truck Simulator' is not worth to continue. The game uses DHTML to process some online activation (DRM scheme) and times out doing that because the server 'amlocalhost.macrovision.com' is not longer reachable.

The "18 Wheels of Steel: Big City Rigs" CD in USA includes Bus Simulator 2008 and Big City Rigs: Garbage Truck (a.k.a. Garbage Truck Simulator).

Xubuntu 14.04 x86_64. Assuming CD is mapped to d: in Wine, the CD autorun launcher can be started using the following command. Not strictly necessary since setup.exe can be started directly on the CD. wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /d d:\\ d:\\autorun.exe Launch.hta IE 6 doesn't work at all (bug #42086). IE 7 works for the launcher window but is ugly (bug #42087). It doesn't work for game *.desktop (*.lnk) files (play.hta). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
