Problems installing on Intrepid
by Mud Buddha on Wednesday February 25th 2009, 21:09
I tried installing the game recently, first with Wine 1.1.14, then 1.1.15, on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Haron. I then upgraded to 8.10 Intrepid, but the problem remains the same:
The installer gives an error after copying a few files (before requesting the second CD). It's an MS Installer error code and the number is 1603. In the terminal wine displays the following lines right before the Installer's message appears:
fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"sada" (nil) 0x7dd442bc (nil) 0x7dd442c0 0x7dd442b4 - stub
fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"sada" 0x176c478 0x7dd442bc 0x176fb88 0x7dd442c0 0x7dd442b4 - stub

err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"InstallFinalize" returned 1603
err:ole:ClientRpcChannelBuffer_SendReceive called from wrong apartment, should have been 0x200000003d
Further details: I'm trying to install from mounted iso files, not real CDs. Also, I've tried to run the installer with wine as Windows 98 as well as XP. The iso files are fine (installing under Windows works). I am trying to install to a FAT32 partition. Thinking that it might have something to do with permissions to write to disk, I ran the installer with sudo once, but this way an MS installer error message is displayed before I can click on anything in the window.
If anyone has any advice on how this can be solved, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
