I wish to install an application that comes as an exe and various directories. I found this thread about plain exe http://www.codeweavers.com/support/forums/general/?t=26;forumcurPos=50;msg=69774. But how do I create a blank bottle that I can add a directory too. Could I just copy an existing bottle and rename it and then modify that

Hi,

Start cxsetup (manage bottles), click on the +Add button, give the new
bottle a name [bottle_name] and select the profile for the bottle, create
the new bottle. Once complete, the next part depends on whether the program
is happy to run from anywhere on drive_c or if it wants to be in it's own
directory or somewhere else ..ie; in 'Program Files'...you'll have to figure
that one out, but presuming the program is happy with it's own directory on
'the base of drive C:' as we put it, you would then do the following;

mkdir ~/.cxgames/[bottle_name]/drive_c/[gamedir_name]

Copy the exe into that directory. Highlight the bottle in cxsetup, click on
Run - navigate to the .exe copied into the bottle, click open (or create
launcher)...something like this should work...

Cheers!

More or less already tried that by copying a working bottle and modifying. Anyway I deleted that attempt and start over following your instructions.

No joy - Nothing really much happens when I click run and I tried creating a log file and again nothing.

The program can be downloaded from here - if you feel sufficiently motivated to try yourself

My mistake it did create a log file on my second attempt.

install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables

Which reminded me I think I had to install . NET Framework Download to get it working before. I assume I can create a bottle with .NET as the install application then add BCMShogi.

I will give it a try when I have a bit more time

Hi Keith,

That there is some .NET part missing plus a call to the visual c++ 2008 redist.

Cheers!

Got an error trying to install Net Framework 2

1. 25015 2:
2. C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\SYstemEnterpriseServices.dll
3. 0x80070032 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10:

Sure I have come across a later Net Framework - 3 at least I will try tracking that down.

Tried Net Framework 4 and it just bombed crossover straight away
