Bug #: 30625 Summary: Company of Heroes fails to install from DVD Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ajsb@vfemail.net Classification: Unclassified
This affects ALL versions of WINE and all versions of CoH , AFAIK.
As you can see in the reviews , all reviewers confirm that we can install Steam version but DVD version ALWAYS fails because installer crashes ....
Only way around this is to 1st install from DVD in Window$ and make a ZIP file and pass content to Linux machine.
However i consider that ridiculous and doesn't seem too hard (well at least compared with all the advances made in WINE ;) to solve...
There are lot's of people with the DVD and w/o Steam version that would love to install game w/o need to go back ti Window$ to make ZIP files...
BTW, AFAIK, the updaters also crash so, one more reason to solve this and avoid the ZIP files...
I appreciate that this issue could be solved once and for all , in special because it might be similar to problems with some other games with installers crashing...
