--- Comment #16 from proveit@tutamail.com --- Major progress, and I owe it to you.
I got the game running with my official repository version of Wine (1.6.2). Why? Because I don't know how to install wine-gecko (Internet Explorer replacement?) or wine-mono on the development branch. But packages wine-gecko and wine-mono from my repository do work with my official repository version even if I don't get a popup telling me to install them. I also installed vcrun2008 because of your tests, and the game just runs.
But for the sake of Wine, I want to get it working on development branch too. Because there's no crash with the same installer on an older version of Wine, there is a strong possibility that the cause is the lack of gecko (which might be the "other version" you mentioned. If you can tell me how to install gecko on wine 2.0rc6, then I can do a test to confirm that vcrun2006 and gecko will work.
