--- Comment #4 from Neville Phillips nogagplz@gmail.com 2008-08-29 15:21:10 --- Using wine-1.1.3-294-g71aa14a, it would get the same problem, until I saw paul.dll in the sporebin directory. I got the notion to replace it with a cracked one (bundled with a "fixed" Bioshock .exe), and things progressed slightly by telling me it was missing lang.ini.
Then, after then using the lang.ini from Bioshock (very very hacked up >> blame not going to bed) it loaded, and got to a dialogue box that asked me to enter my serial number. I didn't get further than this however, since I have no idea where I need to get it from, so will ask my sister when she wakes up (as it's her copy of creature creator).
Apart from that hiccup, it looked like it was even able to access the authentication server properly too, since it said the serial number I typed in (it was just random characters) was not in their database, and gave an option for manual activation.
