Hi Stefan
Thanks for your reply.
These look harmless to me, the problem you have is that Steam refuses to work with Wines builtin shdocvw.dll and mshtml.dll, no matter if you install the Mozilla ActiveX control. Try installing Internet Explorer and set shdocvw and mshtml to native and try again.
I just copied the dlls from win2k. Is there a document approach to install Internet Explorer through WINE? I found this page: http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/ is this the way to do it?
Also, I used to be able to specify overrides on the command line, that functionality seems to have been removed, with no mention of where it is now. Could you help me find the info in an FAQ or something please?
wine --dll shdocvw,mshtml=n Steam.exe -applaunch 220
I found this alternative approach from the man page:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="shdocvw,mshtml=n"
wine Steam.exe -applaunch 220
This now starts, updates etc, but the login boxes are still blank, no text and no way to enter into them.
I've not patched and built with Oliver Stieber's latest D3D9 patch. has anyone had success with the normal stable packages? I am using 20050310 at present
Unfortunately, http://ivan.ivg2.net/hl2/ seems to be down for me at present.
Please include my email address in replies.
Kind regards JG
