Thank you for this quick answer. I have follow the 2 tracks you indicates :
- PreloaderPageZeroProblem : 1. Creating /etc/sysctl.d/wine.conf and adding vm.mmap_min_addr = 0 leads to the same error : "Cannot start DOS application" after rebooting my PC 2. Modifying sysctl.d/10-zeropage.conf : vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536 to vm.mmap_min_addr = 0 leads to the same error : "Cannot start DOS application" after rebooting my PC
I missed the fact that you're on a 64-bit machine. There's no way to have Wine itself launch the DOS executable on 64-bit.
- using DOSBox : following message appears : "This programm cannot be run in
DOS mode"
How did you launch the installer? For what it's worth, testing with the installer for the Comanche 3 demo on a 32-bit Ubuntu machine, I managed to get Wine to launch the executable, but the installer fails to respond to keyboard input. A DOSBox instance launched by Wine on my 64-bit Fedora machine quits shortly after launch, but launching DOSBox and spawning the installer by hand appears to let it run, although the installer behaves as if it were running on DOS exclusively.
