trying to install EL on kubuntu using wine

Post by ryuu »

i am trying to install EL on ubuntu using Wine, but i keep getting "error 5: access denied" when i go to start instaling, does anyone know why i'm getting this?
fixed it, was trying to install to the root of my hd instead of the virtual C drive that wine creates

Furthest I came, after a lot of modding, was the game loading up till just before gameplay. I do recall I actually got one of the original Starwraith games working sloppily in Wine, tho.
