Is this a DOS game? If yes, do you have dosbox installed?

Here is another bug report of the same game

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15299#c0

the download link contained a demo, but it felt like hole game, since it
started to complain not having cdrom at the drive.

It started with wine setup.

I assume it's the same setup file that causes crash in this bug report.

could be worth to test.

Hello folks,

I can't confirm this, the 16-bit Windows installer works fine here.

Please retest with more recent Wine version, preferably Wine 1.7.54

The archive.org ZIP does not match the contents of the CD-ROM version:

ZIP file:
972f5b014cab0ea87cfa88b59e616cab  ./SETUP.EXE 
-r--r--r--. 1 cthielen cthielen 28544 Nov 28  1994
/home/cthielen/.wine/drive_c/SILENT/SETUP.EXE

CD-ROM:
a2cb3c91bb846de643871fb897b0ad3a  ./setup.exe
-r-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 32592 Sep  9  1997 ./setup.exe

Not sure where the .zip file got its contents.

Under Wine 1.7.52, I now receive the GCC stack smashing error:

fixme:ole:RemUnknown_QueryInterface No interface for iid
{00000019-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}

What program are you using to generate the .exe output? I can post the CD-ROM
version here.

Is this still an issue in current Wine?
