TSL in Linux/OSX via Wine -- testing

[glottal]

Code Select Expand

msiexec /i TSL-EP1+2.msi
wine start TSL-EP1+2.msi
big difference.

My bad ... but those are the exact two commands I have been trying.

The error message I get when I try the first of those two commands is the same one I already posted.  The exact error I get for the second command is, in the terminal window:

Code Select Expand

fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100

and the "Windows Installer" error I get is "Incorrect command line parameters.  Windows Installer. V 2.00.2600.2 Copyright C 2000 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.  Portions of this software are based in part on the owrk of the Independent JPEG Group."

EDIT: One other thing I could try is to install this on a different computer.  I don't know if that would make any difference, but the alternative computer does have superior hardware (I think ... it was assembled by my dad, so I'd have to ask him for specs).

try that!  does this computer have linux on it or not?

if so, try it and report back.

I was busy for a few days, so I didn't get it around to it until today.

I did all of the steps outlined here on the alternate computer ... and got the exact same error messages (the alternate computer also runs Ubuntu 10.04).

Could it be that it just doesn't work on wine 1.3.6?  I haven't seen anyone confirms that it works on wine 1.3.6.

Hi glottal,

I did the same as you did, which are the same steps as I did with my previous versions of Linux Mint and Wine. I ended up with the same error message as you. I'm using Wine 1.3.7 and Linux Mint 10 now (Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat equivalent).

...
The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.

Wine 1.3.6+ could be the guilty one, since it work fine with 1.3.3.

I have tested it on version 1.2-1.3.5 and those all work.  Later  today I will try it with 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 with my exact configuration and see if there are any problems. (I hadn't had time to upgrade yet.  thank you guys for reminding me)

You can still get 1.3.5 easily though you may have to search archives for your distro or compile it.  trhy that for the time being.

[glottal]

Finally got back to this.

Before I tried Wine 1.3.5, I tried Wine 1.3.8, and it also doesn't work

EDIT:  Mysteriously, when I tried to install Wine 1.3.5, I got 1.2 instead.  It did not work, and I got the same error messages.

EDIT2: I finally installed Wine 1.3.5 (I compiled it from source), and I still get the exact same errors.  ARGHHH!

Anyway, I feel I have sunk way to much time into trying to get this game work, and I am officially giving up.

[Ravager]

Tried version 1.2.1 and 1.3.8. Same error messages.

[mewithoutYou52]

I originally got these same error messages you both are reporting.  This is how I fixed them:

Open your Wine Config Menu.  Under Applications, mine is set to Windows XP.  I don't know how important this is, but the next two options are what seemed to prevent the MSI file from opening and installing properly.

Go into Libraries.  You should see msi and msiexec under existing overrides.  When I was getting that error, they were set to Native then Builtin (I believe).  All I did was switch these two options to builtin and then hit okay.  Verify that it now says:

*msi (builtin)
*msiexec (builtin)

Then hit okay and close the Wine Config menu.  Then go back into your terminal and try:

wine msiexec /i TSL-EP1+2.msi

Mine sat there for probably 3 minutes, but then popped up and installed.

Last time I tried running this game (when this episode 2 was just released) I was getting that bug where all the cut scenes were being skipped and there was no dialogue working.  I can say that now everything is working perfectly.  I just watched the opening cut scenes and all the sounds are working perfectly.

Also note that I did update to the newest Wine, 1.3.8, so it's working perfectly with this setup.

I hope this also helps you guys who are having the same problems.  Can't wait to finally play through this episode!

I feel so stupid now.  I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT PART!
I will add it to the guide.

officially giving up.

try this first.  and not on version 1.2, use version 1.3.5 or something. This will probably work, because I remember having to do this once.
thanks mewithoutYou52!

[mewithoutYou52]

My pleasure.   Glad to help.

[Ravager]

OK, it's working now. Both with 1.2 and 1.3.8. Thank you mewithoutYou52 and atec123 .

[glottal]

Good news: It actually installs TSL now

Bad news: the game won't run

More specifically: When I try to run the TSL configuration, both the windows software and Wine give me error messages.  Since they're too long to write out, and I can't copy and past those error messages, I'll just copy and paste what the terminal window gives me when I try to run the configuration tool

When I try to run the game without going through configuration, it gives me this error:

fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext ((nil), 0x132658): stub

I think this might be because of the way I compiled Wine 1.3.5 - it's acting weird compared to every other version of Wine I've used.  Unfortunately, it seems stuck on my computer, even when I try to change it to any other version of wine (whether Wine 1.2.1 or 1.3.8 )

[mewithoutYou52]

Darn, I thought my way would magically fix everything.

If you think it's Wine, is there no way to wipe that folder and reinstall it?

[glottal]

At this point, I'm so pessimistic about this game ever working on my computer that I was impressed that your advice achieved anything at all, mewithoutYou52.

Fortunately, getting The Silver Lining to work is not particularly important relative to the other things going on in my life.  And with all the brouhaha around trying to get it work, I suspect the game itself would be an, ah, anticlimax.

[atec123]

did dotnet20 install alright?

try compiling wine to a specific folder.

make sure you have git.
then run this:

Code Select Expand

git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git ~/wine-git

Code Select Expand

cd ~/wine-git
./configure --prefix=~/wine-tsl/
then get all required libs if you don't have them.  you probably do though if you have already compiled a version of wine before.
then the usual:

Code Select Expand

make

sudo make install
then set your wineprefix to whatever wineprefix TSL was installed at:

Code Select Expand

export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.whatever-your-wineprefixfortsl-was/
then navigate to the folder where TSLConfig.exe is and run

Code Select Expand

~/wine-tsl/bin/wine tsl-config.exe
you might also need to run winetricks again but I don't think you will.
you are way to close to give up now!

I suspect the game itself would be an, ah, anticlimax.

you don't come across as a computer nerd....

[glottal]

you don't come across as a computer nerd....

Nah, I'm just a computer nerd's daughter (though I suppose early imprinting has some effects ... such as the fact that I'm still using Linux even though I'm an adult and am currently free to use whatever operating system I please).

Anyway, I finally got The Silver Lining to work!!!!!!!!!!

... on a computer that I can't use very often (running Ubuntu 10.04/Wine 1.3.8 ).  At least this is strong evidence that the problem is on my computer, most likely Wine but possible something else.

it probably is wine, but the stuff I posted above will probably fix it if you still want to try.

Nah, I'm just a computer nerd's daughter (though I suppose early imprinting has some effects ... such as the fact that I'm still using Linux even though I'm an adult and am currently free to use whatever operating system I please).

yeah.  Linux is a nerd's operating system.  It's great though.  I am so accustom to it that it is easier for me than windows.

well glad you got it to work at all.  Wait for the other  episodes and directors cut and that will certainly be worth getting working on your main computer.

[mewithoutYou52]

We appreciate you trying, and I'm sad that you're so pessemistic.  Hopefully you'll still have the chance to play through the game sometime!

[glottal]

Thanks everyone for all of the help.  As it is, I'm going to get a new computer in about a month or two anyway, so I'll hold off playing the game until then.  This would also be a good time to edit the guide to reflect that you have to change the Wine configuration to builtin.

Yeah.  I kinda added a little note at the end, but editing the guide is a good idea for when I have some time. Could save some people a lot of trouble.  Glad you will be able to get it to work after all.

update:still compatible with wine version 1.3.10.  not expecting that it will lose compatibility on a new version anytime soon, because it has been working great on all the 1.3x versions.
