How do I install Age of Empires 2?

[Athena1988]

I use cedega. IM not sure how to install Age of Empires 2. can some one give me some advice?

[russianpirate]

well i dont use cedega, i use wine, and i dont have age of empires (lol), but if u configured home/.transgaming/config then all you have to do (usually) is mount the cd and cedega /path/to/setup.exe(or install.exe) the installation executable may start with a capital so try different combinations and file names

[Al'Capone]

fetch the latest wine (FORGET CEDEGA...IT DOESNT WORK) emerge wine
fetch winetools from http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/ and read the instructions 3 times WTFM Pleeeeeeaaaase..... (if you dont have rpm installed ..emerge rpm)
install winetools as per the instructions above and run the script
once done:
wt2
configure your wine environment and install dcom98, IE, MSInstaller and Microsuck fonts that is all you need.

insert cd in drive
if you are running gnome then
cd /mnt/cdrom (hal , udev, already mounted the cdrom for you)
ls
wine setup.exe wait until it finishes and
Play away.....minimal irritations include fonts not quite as crips as in windows but it works.

if you are running something else
mount your cdrom (mount -t /mnt/cdrom)
cd /mnt/cdrom
ls
wine setup.exe
wait until it finishes and..
Play away

if you have a no cd crack then cd /home/insertyouruserhere/.wine/c_drive/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Games/Ages\ of\ Empires\ II/
once there:
wine empires2.exe
PLAY AWAY......
