Summary: Installation of Total Annihilation original does not run to completion Product: Wine Version: 1.1.26 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: hughperkins@gmail.com
Installation of Total Annihilation original does not run to completion.
An error appears at the end "Could not open readme.txt". Perhaps it is looking in the wrong place?
The intallation completes for the most part: the game runs. However this bug has two consequences: - the start menu icons are not created, so the game has to be launched from the commandline, and the images are not obviously available anywhere to create one's own start menu icons (at least: they don't look beautiful) - the Core Contingency expansion cannot be installed from the setup.exe provided, because it says that ta is not installed, which can feasibly be explained by certain registry entries being unavailable, since hte original installation did not run to completion
This bug is fairly minor: it does not prevent the game being played, and there are workarounds available (fairly easy once you know / have documented them) to install core contingency, but on the other hand my gut feeling is it might be fairly easy to fix, since it could be just a relative path being used where an absolute path is needed, or some other bug related to paths being joined together not quite in the way that was intended.
The bug does mean that people may not be able to install Core Contingency without checking the how-to in the total annihilation database.
