The full game doesn't crash on startup, but it comes with separate video codec
installer, which is called during the game installer.

I think this bug only applies to the demo.

Try this before running the demo?

I can confirm that this crash is still in Wine, but this is definitely a codec
issue, and it does go away if you install Indeo video codec. I remember from
working on video cutscenes in dark engine games, that they don't seem to do
lots of error checking for that, so if there's no codec or something - down it
goes. I believe Intel Indeo codecs used to come "bundled" with MS OSes, making
such situation on Windows unlikely, but this arrangement AFAIK was
discontinued, so same problem probably could happen on some newer windows
releases and almost certainly on Vista. This is not Wine bug as such, so I
think it's right to close it as invalid.
