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.
Thanks, Rob
