Summary: Wine fails to copy a readable file when installing Sims 2 Product: Wine Version: 0.9.15. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: Rincebrain@gmail.com
When using wine to install the Sims 2, the installer complains that it is unable to copy the file "TSData/Res/UserData/groups.cache" from the DVD, and prompts the user to retry or abort the installation. Continuous retries have no effect. The same behavior occurs if the user dumps the disc to an ISO file and attempts to install it. The file itself is perfectly readable, and in fact, when the installer prints this error, it has already copied the file to the destination directory on the hard drive. Removing the already-copied copy has no effect on the process.
This behavior has been present since at least wine 0.9.13, and it is unknown if this was ever not the case.
dmesg reports no read errors when this error is printed out. wine prints out no debug messages when this error occurs.
