Summary: Arcanum installer fails Product: Wine Version: 0.9.51. Platform: PC URL: http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/674/Arcanum+Demo (demo, installer might be different tho!) OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-shell32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: tsaeru@gmail.com
Created an attachment (id=9794) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=9794) All mambojambo that got printed to console..
Arcanum's installer never asks for CD2. It apparently only installs what it finds from CD1, says it's done, some backtrace gets printed to console and the game wont launch.
Workarounds include using Windows installation, manually extracting required files from CD2 or installing with Cedega.
Similar installation issues pointed out in appdb as well.
Not exactly sure what all the backtrace is even about - might not point out to actual issue, even..

The game was done in 2001 or so, and the vendor page seems offline; a fan site remains, http://www.terra-arcanum.com/sierra/ It can be bought used at half.com or ebay.com, I think.
The symptom sounds like copy protection in action, offhand.

wine /mnt/cdrom/Setup.exe
Of course installer doesn't work right. Read FAQ for how to properly install multi-cd progams.

Yes, it is. Just tried it yesterday and it never asks for the second CD. I'm using wine 1.0 on a Slamd64 12.0 machine.

--- Comment #7 from Xavier Vachon xvachon@gmail.com 2009-07-09 22:46:00 --- My attempt to install the game failed because SETUP.EXE searches for a file which is on the second disk on the first disk. However, if I merge the content of both CDs on my hard drive and install the game again, it works. How can we determine if this is a setup or wine issue?

See if the same thing occurs on windows or not :-). Does this still occur in 1.1.43 or newer wine?

It still occurs in Wine 1.3.0. Please change state of this bug to confirmed.

--- Comment #14 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
well, it could be called 'works as designed' (see Wine FAQ for multi-CD installs).
The problem you are seeing is either the result of:
1) you start the installer as first process which directly triggers the creation of a new WINEPREFIX
or
2) the installer triggers an update of an existing WINEPREFIX (due to Wine upgrade) with dosdevices drive symlink not existing yet:
In both cases the drive dosdevices symlink doesn't exist yet hence the bootstrapper installer process working directory will always be 'Z:\' based (and have 'fixed drive' property).
Msi installer last file of disk 1:
--- snip --- {entry={next=0x1abba8, prev=0x1ab9e0}, File="Arcanum.dat", Component=0x1a4828, FileName="Arcanum.dat", ShortName="Arcanum.dat", LongName=0x0(nil), FileSize=0x16ac213d, Version=0x0(nil), Language=0x0(nil), Attributes=0, Sequence=0x3e, state=msifs_missing, TargetPath="C:\Sierra\Arcanum\modules\Arcanum.dat", IsCompressed=0, hash={dwFileHashInfoSize=0, dwData={0, 0, 0, 0}}, disk_id=0x4} --- snip ---
Msi installer first file of disk 2:
--- snip --- {entry={next=0x1abc80, prev=0x1abae8}, File="arcanum2.dat12", Component=0x1a3968, FileName="arcanum2.dat", ShortName="arcanum2.dat", LongName=0x0(nil), FileSize=0x8f76af5, Version=0x0(nil), Language=0x0(nil), Attributes=0, Sequence=0x3f, state=msifs_missing, TargetPath="C:\Sierra\Arcanum\arcanum2.dat", IsCompressed=0, hash={dwFileHashInfoSize=0, dwData={0, 0, 0, 0}}, disk_id=0x5} --- snip ---
ready_media -> source_matches_volume
mi->type will be always DRIVE_FIXED because of "Z:\" based source dir (passed through msi WISE_SETUP_EXE_PATH)
-> msi_change_media() for disk 2 won't be called, resulting in:
--- snip --- 0038:err:msi:ACTION_InstallFiles Failed to copy L"Z:\home\focht\media\DISK1\Sierra\Arcanum\arcanum2.dat" to L"C:\Sierra\Arcanum\arcanum2.dat" (2) 0038:err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"InstallFiles" returned 1603 0038:err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"ExecuteAction" returned 1603 --- snip ---
Either you pre-create the WINEPREFIX without using the installer as first process (drive letter is properly assigned)
- or -
use the following command which ensures the symlink exists before the actual installer process creation (working directory = media drive letter based).
--- snip --- $ wine start /unix ./setup.exe --- snip ---
At this point the installer will be asking for disk 2 (example: msi sourcedir = "E:\" based, drive type = cdrom/removable etc.)
