Fun with Wine - Installing Master Of Olympus: Zeus

I've installed Wine (the version that comes with OpenSuse 10.2)

I then put the MoOZ CD into one of my CD drives, and typed:

(Well, I then selected 'insert blockquotes' on blogger's editor, and it deleted everything I'd typed up to that point. But to progress, imagine the next line is in fixed format...) [In fact, I've come back weeks later and actually made it fixed pitch.

wine /media/hdc/AUTORUN.EXE

Wine, of course, doesn't recognise Linux file locations, so returned:

wine: cannot find '/media/hdc/AUTORUN.EXE'

So then I typed:

wine e:\AUTORUN.EXE

And it seemed to start up okay. I hadn't expected that, as I had expected it to say there was no such file. The reason is that usually Wine doesn't recognise Windows file locations either - unless they're typed up with Unix/C style escapes for \,[space] and ". So I had expected to be needing to re-type it as wine e:\\AUTORUN.EXE

Still, time to continue.

The developer's logo appeared on screen - but upside-down.

The next spash screen appeared (after a flicker of black screen), and a dialogue box asking me to agree to the software licence agreement.

Eventually it asked me where to install the files, suggesting A:\Sierra\Olympus. I altered that to C:, and pressed 'Install'

By the time the install finished, the following messages had appeared in the shell:
err:menubuilder:extract_icon32 LoadLibraryExW ( L"C:\\Sierra\\Master of Olympus - Zeus\\zeus.ico") failed, error 193
err:menubuilder:extract_icon32 LoadLibraryExW (L"c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad. exe \"C:\\Sierra\\Master of Olympus - Zeus\\Readme.txt\"") failed, error 126

Now that the install is done, I typed:
wine c:\Sierra\Master of Olympus - Zeus\Zeus.exe
and got the response
wine: cannot find 'c:SierraMaster'
so typed the escaped version
wine c:\\Sierra\\Master\ of\ Olympus\ \-\ Zeus\\Zeus.exe
and a little dialogue box popped up, titled "Tutorial File Error" saying:
Missing pak or sav in Basic tutorial 0

When I okayed that, I got one saying
Missing pak or sav in Basic tutorial 1

Okaying that got a
Missing pak or sav in Basic tutorial 2
and so on up to basic tutorial seven. Whereupon it changed to:
Missing pak or sav in Advanced tutorial 0

It turns out there were 8 of them, too. Once the last one was declared missing, the execution stopped.
