Is there a discount rate for upgrading to a 2.x CD? I'll try the launcher.exe trick when I get home and see if that fixes it, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm using the armybuilder directory that's on my Windows partition, and I do have that installed correctly there, and the CD-ROM is set up correctly on the WINE install. In what way does launcher.exe change the registry the first time that Army Builder runs? Just in case I have to do this manually myself. --- In armybuilder@yahoogroups.com, Rob Bowes <rob@w...> wrote: > The CD works as a keydisc, so all AB is doing is reading specific contents > of the CD.

Just in case I have to do this manually myself. Do you mean that you didn't install Army Builder from within WINE? If not, then you should perhaps try that; Army Builder sets up some settings in the registry that it needs to run. If those aren't present (I don't know how WINE works with respect to the registry, so I don't know if what you've done is in fact entirely acceptable) it will very likely have problems. -- Colen McAlister (colen@wolflair.com) Lone Wolf Development www.wolflair.com __________________________________________________ ______________________ __________________________________________________ ______________________ Your use of Yahoo!
