Please specify which Wine version using the version field.
Please post the results of your regression test

Hi, I left the version unchecked because it happens with the latest git as well
as with 1.1.32 which I got from the debian repo (
http://www.winehq.org/download/deblenny )

This is why I also didn't make a regression test, I don't know which version to
choose as the good one ;)

The game started fine with 1.1.32 and above (I test git version from time to
time).

I suppose this is an issue of a new graphics driver or xserver, but I don't
know how to get wine to give me some useful console output.

Is there any reason that you think it's a regression then?

Good point :)

I will try to install older versions of my graphics driver to identify the
problem on that site.

But it's still strange that I get no console output.

Neither a different kernel nor a downgraded graphics driver led to any success.

Could someone try if the demo starts on your system, please?

Doesn't start here as well.
> From the log i generated it looked as if mfc71 was missing

(GetModuleHandleA("mfc71") returned 0, but winetricks vcrun2003 didn't help
either, still silent exit.

Real problem seems to be:
0009:Call KERNEL32.GetFileAttributesA(00acfb54 "ENGINE\DATA") ret=0503e3c4
0009:Ret  KERNEL32.GetFileAttributesA() retval=ffffffff ret=0503e3c4
0009:Call KERNEL32.FindFirstFileA(00acfb54 "ENGINE\DATA",00acf8d4)
ret=7c355d10

After manually creating the directory ENGINE\DATA the games starts up fine for
me.

1st question is: is this directory created on windows by the installer? HennR,
do you know if that directory is present if the demo is installed on windows?

I will test that in a VM.

The folder gets created under windows.

Seems to be a regression.

I will make some regression testing...

So the folder got created in older wine-versions? If so, could be a regression
in msi?

It got created I suppose. It always started so far.

Regression tests showed that wine-1.3.0 does not create the folder as well.

wine-1.2.1 crashes while processing IDriver.exe, there is already a bug for
that over here:

I tested with wine-1.1.34 and there the installer fails as well. Are you sure
the installer ever worked and installed the correct directies? Maybe a
+msi,+msidb debuglog could be useful?

I used the installer several times and it worked flawless.

So we have two possibilities why the game does not start any more:

1. The installer never worked correctly but wine wasn't affected by the miss of
the "Data" folder. a.k.a: wine ignored the miss and started the game anyway.

This is improbable because I installed the Demo with wine 1.3.5 and tried to
run it with wine 1.1x which didn't succeed.

2. The installer worked properly before but now it's broken.

This is my guess, we just need to find out why ;)

It would help so much if the IDriver.exe issue would be gone before:

This demo/game doesn't produce any console output because it stdout the info
and warnings to several log files, these files are located at the game's
directory, the names of these files are the following, dlltie.log,
GraphicsConfig.log, warnings.log.

Any user having problems should check warnings.log file, because inthat file
will find whats happening underneath, and is the most useful of these three log
files.

Example of a warnings.log on standard (non working) install.

It complaints for the missing 'engine\data' path.

And running flawless. Forgot to say that was tested with Wine 1.3.7.
