Additional Comments
Using the White Label rerelease (comes prepatched to v1.4) 1) Copied the two cds onto two folders on hard drive 2) Copied the contents of one of the folders into the other, choosing to merge the folders when asked 3) Gave executable permissions to the merged folder and copied to wine C: directory 4) Went to http://howto.landure.fr/gnu-linux/install-directx-9-0c-on-linux-using-wine and followed the instructions in the section "DirectX installation" (copied and pasted the commands from that section into terminal) 5) Did the same with the section on installing Active Movie 6) Installed the game using setup.exe 7) To get sound to work in Configure Wine switched from Alsa to Esound (seems to work fine with this game for me) 8) To stop the mouse from lagging switched from Compiz to Metacity before starting with metacity --replace

| Bug # | Description | Status | Resolution | Other apps affected |
Here are some dll files that are needed to play the game, they're easily found via a popular search engine:
amstream.zip
IJL.zip
imgdll.dll.zip
zlib1.zip
Unzip these dll's into both ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system and ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32.
Everything should work fine.
