Re: Army Builder in WINE From: Rob Bowes <rob@wolflair.com> __________________________________________________ ______________________ __________________________________________________ ______________________ Message: 1 Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2002 15:52:19 -0800 From: Rob Bowes <rob@wolflair.com> Subject: Re: Army Builder in WINE The CD works as a keydisc, so all AB is doing is reading specific contents of the CD. If your CD-ROM drive is working correctly, then AB should be able to obtain this information properly. My guess is that AB doesn't know to LOOK for the CD, since WINE probably doesn't have the autorun mechanism of Windows. Either that or you may also have an old (V1.x) CD that you are working with. Or you may have changed the drive letter designation since installing AB and it's looking at the wrong drive. To get AB to look for the CD in the correct place, insert the CD and run the program "launcher.exe". This should trigger an update of the Registry that will cause AB to start checking for the CD henceforth. If you have a V1.x CD (the V2.x CDs have red on the CD while the older ones don't), then you'll have to physically install the product from the CD and THEN install the latest version OVER that. This should get AB to start looking for the CD, in which case it should find it. Let me know if this doesn't solve the problem.
