 |
|
here is the output I get when runnung something:
| Code: | spector@System spector $ winex3 /mnt/cdrom/Setup.exe
/usr/bin/winex3[162]: !([ -e /home/spector/.transgaming ]): not found
Updating TransGaming config and registry info
mv: cannot stat `/home/spector/.transgaming/config': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/spector/.transgaming/config': No such file or directory

mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/spector/.transgaming/c_drive/My Documents': No such file or directory

cp: cannot create directory `/home/spector/.transgaming/c_drive/windows/': No such file or directory

cp: cannot create regular file `/home/spector/.transgaming/tg_config_version': No such file or directory
wineserver: chdir /home/spector/.transgaming : No such file or directory |
I created my own .transgaming dir with c_drive and other things in it, hoping it would work but then, when I try to install this game I get an error instantly:
| Code: | | The InstallShiled Engine (iKernel.exe) could not be launched. (0x80070057) |
This get's displayed in a window
Please I really need HELP !  |

I found the .transgaming dir in the /usr/lib/transgaming and copied it to ~
but I still get this error:
| Code: | | /usr/bin/winex3[162]: !([ -e /home/spector/.transgaming ]): not found |
and I still get an error when I wan't to install something...

The first thing you should always look at when something cannot be created is permissions. Do
and make sure your home dir has you as the owner and users as the group.

yes, that checks out fine.... I think I have to set something with winex so that my ~/.trangaming dir gets set right so that winex works within this dir.... at least that's what makes sence to me after failing to create the directories on it's own 
10x anyway |

No, you shouldn't have to set anything within winex, trust me on that one. There is nothing to set. When you first run it it will check to see if there is a .transgaming folder, if not it creates it for you. Those are low level systems calls. They only things that could be blocking them are something else low level:
1. You have a .transgaming folder owned by root or that is not writeable
2. Your home dir is not writable by you
3. Your transgaming is fubared and needs to be reinstalled for some reason
4. you have some problem in /etc/passwd where your homedir is not set to the correct directory
I would rm -rf .transgaming and then inside your home dir do
chown -R spector.users *
That will re chown all the files and dirs back to you.
