Summary: Can't install Need for Speed 3 in WinXP environment Product: Wine Version: 1.1.24 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: wylda@volny.cz
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.

--- Comment #4 from Jeff Zaroyko jeffz@jeffz.name 2009-06-29 03:47:32 --- 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.
