That's funny, I was just going to try to install it here in the same
setup... on a 2.4.20-8 kernel box with the latest version of
Crossdress... errr Crossover Office.
What version of crossover did you try it with?

I get precisely the same error with all the different builds of WINE that I've
tried. It seems like something related to the licensing, but I can't for the
life of me figure it out.

Each clmt attribute will be evaluated independently - since each has its
own validation message, this needs to be the case, so the appropriate
validation messages will be displayed at all times.

While removing the item category using tweaks will work, an alternative
solution would be using types. If every magic standard assigns the type
'HasStd", then the weapons, armour, wards etc could all be restricted so
that if the type "HasStd" was present, they would be unselectable. It would
then be impossible to select a standard and weapons (etc) at the same time,
so the problem of the clmt attributes would not arise. This is exactly the
sort of thing types were designed to do, so I don't think that implementing
the expanded clmt attribute is really required. Thoughts?

Fair enough, but I think it would be more useful if you were able to
combine both statements in one attribute and OR them together.

This would require me to put "utyp:!HasStd" on every magic item in the
game that is not a magic standard... I'm far too lazy for that! This way,
I simply add the tweak to each of the magic standards and everything
works.

If I were able to use augmentation to globally assign the utyp:!HasStd
attribute to all items of specified categories and the type:HasStd to all
magic standards I would definitely go for it. Is that possible?

I just tried and I got the same error as well... I think it's more
then likely related to the checksum that army builder does for the
licensing that's causing the problem.
Has anyone gotten it to work through wine?

I am using RH9, 2.4.20-8 kernel. Crossover is version 2. I used to use 1.2 but it would not install correctly under the new version of RedHat.
