Summary: Can't install Need for Speed 3 in WinXP environment
           Product: Wine

Hi,

when i try to run Need for Speed 3's "wine setup.exe" and Winecfg is set to
Windows XP, i will get following error message:

"Sorry, Need For Speed III only runs in Windows 95 and Windows 98."

But the real problem will be somewhere else, because i'm able to run the
setup.exe under true MS's WinXP without any problem.

Are you sure XP isn't using its compatibility mode? What happens on windows 2k?

Well this is interesting. Compatibility mode not set under WinXP and when
running from CD no problem to install. When i copy setup folder to HDD and run
setup.exe, message pops up.

The message also pops up, when i set Win2k for setup.exe on CD.

Windows XP does it's compatibility stuff automatically, the user does not need
to change any settings for the application for it to do fixups etc.  Yes there
are manual overrides in the properties dialog for an executable but that is
optional.

NFS3 is for Windows 95 and 98 only and the app will refuse to run when Windows
returns version information for versions higher.  Wine does not have a
compatibility database to do such heuristics so this is invalid, just set the
version in winecfg.

Closing invalid.
