Problem with Wine and Half-life

kiwi_bird

After just buying HL1 I wanted to install it via Wine. When I go through the terminal to the CD (/media/cdrom0) and type "wine setup.exe" it starts and I press next once and at that moment an error box pops up saying "Can't execute the external program *the path of where Steam is installed*". After trying to install the other .exe files on the CD as was suggested on some other forum the following happens:

kiwi@kiwi-laptop:/media/cdrom0$ wine instmsi.exe
kiwi@kiwi-laptop:/media/cdrom0$

Then I was thinking of adding the game to Steam via the "Add a game function" where you just have to type in the product key. But when it asks you to agree to the terms of service Steam/Wine freezes and I can't press on "Agree" or scroll down.

Any Ideas?

P.S. I do remember Scott saying if something doesn't work in Wine don't even try.

I came in here thinking you were having a drinking problem and it was affecting your game play.

I really prefer port with my Half-Life.

Alcohol and NS do not mix well...

I really prefer port with my Half-Life.

Which port? 6003, 7002, 27010, 27015, or 27025?

Wow.

I was thinking the same exact thing, as I can also see, others have as well. ^_~

On the actual not of WINE (wine {is not an emulator}*inf, recurring abbreviation.) then I suggest you install wine-doors which has a steam package which I think will let you download and register your copy of half life.

Sadly only half life 1. I should have typed it WINE.

Solved.
