Bug ID: 37916 Summary: Anno 1602 first CD release (1998) installer fails to copy file(s) Product: Wine Version: 1.7.34 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: focht@gmx.net Distribution: ---
Hello folks,
just for documenting the issue.
A user in #winehq wanted to install Anno 1602 and it failed for him.
I've investigated some Anno 1602 bugs in the past (bug 13754 for example) but never encountered this.
I bought the original game cheaply, CD Cover says "Windows 95/98". Date of files on CD is November, 2001
Installs fine in 32-bit WINEPREFIX using Wine 1.6, 1.7.x
UBISoft provides an installer fix for Windows 2000 and Windows XP, indicating that the 1998 installer can't work on modern Windows OS (various 'Anno' online forums mention this). It's also unlikely that MS provides a shim for this otherwise the installer would work for Windows 2K/XP users.

From the Anno 1602 forums I gathered that the actual (german) error message
might be:
--- quote --- "Datei kann nicht kopiert werden: Der angegebene Dateiname ist ungültig oder zu lang. Geben Sie einen anderen Dateinamen an." --- quote ---
Wine-Staging has a hack/workaround: https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/tree/master/patches/shell32-S...

--- Comment #1 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks again,
summarizing:
- distributor/developer of the game provides a fix, dubbed "Win 2000 / Win XP Installationsfix" - newer CD releases of Anno 1602, starting with 2000/2001+ ship with fixed installer - users running the original installer are asked to apply the fix, indicating that MS doesn't provide an installer shim for this
I think it's ok to opt for 'INVALID' since the installer is definitely broken.
