Summary: Halo 2 Vista: Installer will not launch Product: Wine Version: 1.1.15 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: anomalydetected@gmail.com
When attempting to launch the installer the game Halo 2 Vista, nothing much happens. There is a window that briefly appears entitled "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library", but it immediately closes and then nothing more happens. Terminal output shows a flurry of FIXME's, a few ERR's, and finally ends with an Unhandled Exception Error. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit. Compiled the latest git as of today (2/26/2009). Wine --version shows wine-1.1.15-445-g5e0d4c7. GCC is version 4.3.2. In winecfg, I set the Windows Version to "Windows Vista". (Note that the game requires Windows Vista to play, but does not use any Vista-specific functions such as DirectX10. In fact, there is a 3rd party application that allows this exact game to run successfully under Windows XP. It is commonly believed that Microsoft made the requirement of Vista purely to help push the OS.) The command I am using to launch it is "wine /media/cdrom0/Startup.exe".
