------- Additional Comments From cklein@mpi-sb.mpg.de 2006-25-01 14:30 ------- With the newest CVS (20060124) I it works up to the point where the real installing, i.e. the copying of the files should start. Then it dies with the already mentioned "Object reference not set" error message.
However, the game can now be installed (including Throne of Bahl extension and Patch) if I first install dcom98.exe and use its native dlls, i.e.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,oleaut32,rpcrt4=n" wine dcom98
and then call the installer with the above dll overrides.
