Dear Vitaliy, I'm very sorry for my total stupidity, ignorance and maybe even debility, but I can't find nothing common between Bug# 219 and my question. The PhysX installer doesn't check for any *ICE components present in the system, doesn't output any strings to wine console, which are described in the bug desc, and the message "The installer is already running", which is typical for my problem, is not mentioned in the bug description at all. So please be patient with me and explain me in the deeper detail, why are you thinking that I'm asking for #219. With regards, Pavel Troller
I agree, this is not an issue with Copy Protection, this is an issue where the installer thinks that the installer is already running.
A couple of questions
-Have you tried running the PhysX installer manually, after the game is installed?
Yes. It's stated in my original mail. The results are identical.
-Have you tried running wineboot to make sure any run entries are cleared and then running the PhysX installer manually?
No, because the game installer neither didn't warn me that the windows will reboot, nor asked me to do it manually. And I tried to install the PhysX driver on another machine, independently on the previous attempts on the first one, and it also did exactly the same.
-Any idea what brand of installer it is (InstallShield, MSI, WISE, or some other)? If you aren't sure, I can always take a look at the installer, if you will bzip and send to me (less than 10mb).
The package is provided as a single executable file. It doesn't identify itself, it just pops up the dialog that it's already running. The only trace is the window title, which says "AGEIA PhysX V2.5.1 Setup". I think that it's something special, not a classic brands of installers.
I will send you the file privately.
