 Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2004 4:26 am Post subject: Starcraft & Wine error |
 |
|
Hi everyone,
I have got got a gentoo box and am trying to install starcraft on it.
It gets all the way to the end of the install when the install breaks and I get an error.
| Code: |
Error:
Unable to create a link to c:\Program Files\Starcraft\Starcraft.exe as c:\windows\Start Menu\Programs\Starcraft\Starcraft.lnk.
Installation aborted.
Error 5: Access denied
at: LinkUndo.cpp line 165
|
I tried changing the permissions of the folder thinking that would be it, but it wasnt. I have googled it and found a couple of posts on something close to this, but not quite. After the error is escaped all files are deleted and since the registry entries are created after the links are made it will not let me play the game if I halt the install.
if it helps here is my wine config.
| Code: |
WINE REGISTRY Version 2
;; All keys relative to \\Machine\\Software\\Wine\\Wine\\Config
;; If you think it is necessary to show others your complete config for a
;; bug report, filter out empty lines and comments with

It is a gentoo only box. Any help would be much appreciated as a couple of my friends have been able to install starcraft fine w/o any problems and all I want to do is play the game.
Thanks,

How important is it for you to have this link
| Code: |
Unable to create a link to c:\Program Files\Starcraft\Starcraft.exe as c:\windows\Start Menu\Programs\Starcraft\Starcraft.lnk.
|
?
Did you check wether it was installed? I guess it is but it fails to alter you start menu. That isn't a problem is it?

| No as soon as the installer recieves that error the install will halt and delete everything that has been transferred to the hard drive. |

I keep running into this exact problem as well. I googled it, and no-one seems to know a work-around.
How is everyone else getting SC installed? Are we the only ones running into this error? |

You're not the only ones. There are two ways around it. One: hit control+c when you hit this error in the console. This way, the installer doesn't delete the files. Or you can fetch WINE's CVS. I don't seem to have this problem w/ cvs right now.

I got the same error, but my installer did not abort. You might try to create a empty file at "c:\windows\Start Menu\Programs\Starcraft\Starcraft.lnk"
This might fool the installer?
I had another problem, where the reg db keys for the "Program Files", "Start Menu" and so on where missing, so the windows installer would fail because it could not find the directories, you might have a similar problem?

| So what did you to fix the problem with the start menu registry keys not being created? I seem to be having precisely that problem. |
