Description Oliver Lewisohn 2008-02-16 09:27:40 UTC

Problem:

I cannot install Football Manager 2008. I think my version of the game is 8.0, as it is the shop-sold CD. I tried following the instructions found at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9479 (App DB page for this game) without success.


Output:

After the "InstallAnywhere" software completes, a 'command prompt'-style box displays the following output: http://wine.pastebin.com/f6d55bd83

Simultaneously, the terminal that wine was launched from displays the following output: http://wine.pastebin.com/f35c09bad


Result:

Cannot install or play game.

(Re)move your ~/.wine directory and reinstall the application. What Wine version are you using?

I tried that, still no success. I got this output instead: http://wine.pastebin.com/f68e866d2

I'm using wine-0.9.55 .

Comment 3 Vitaliy Margolen 2008-02-17 10:50:36 UTC

You have not removed it. Try again. Check your permissions. Never run Wine as root.

I did remove it, and I wasn't running it as root. I tried again anyway.

This time:

Terminal: http://wine.pastebin.com/f1e1be90

'Cmd' box: http://wine.pastebin.com/f752a329e

What do you mean by "Check your permissions"?  Of what, exactly?

Comment 5 Vitaliy Margolen 2008-02-17 11:07:39 UTC

You have to install wine-gecko as well. Run 'wine iexplore http://winehq.org' and click "Install".

Alright, done that as well, still no luck. Just to be sure, I deleted ~/.wine, then ran wine iexplore http://winehq.org, let that install, and then did wine setup.exe. Nothing else. I'm just getting the following in the terminal (Pasting here because it's just one line):

fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000400

And in the 'cmd' window I'm getting the same as before, except for one or two numbers, for example "lax1b27" replaces "lax1212". If you need it in full... http://wine.pastebin.com/f4b39b4e3

So, still not getting anywhere.

Comment 7 Vitaliy Margolen 2008-02-17 12:07:13 UTC

Attach that last thing "content of the cmd window" here as a text file.

Contents of 'cmd' window that appears during attempted installation of Football Manager 2008

I am referring to this window as a 'cmd' window because it is the same as is produced by running 'cmd' in Windows XP - it is the familiar white text on a black background. I am not sure how to describe it otherwise.

This window, and the text in this attachment, appear after the progress bar in the "InstallAnywhere" window reaches 100%.

Comment 9 Marco Trevisan (Treviño) 2008-02-28 20:07:52 UTC

I can confirm this bug... Using wine 0.9.49 the game installs and runs fine...

With wine 0.9.55 it runs better (I can use it in windowed mode) but I need to downgrade wine to install it before...!

Install with an old version, then update to run it? I'll try that.

In that case, it's a regression. Please do a regression test:

Comment 12 Dominik Fuchs 2008-04-12 06:27:47 UTC

I think this might be a return of the wine_main_preload_info issue from 2006 (http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-July/049897.html and replies). Behaviour of the FM2008 installer seems to be suspiciously similar to this.

My system: Ubuntu Hardy, Kernel 2.6.24, Wine 0.9.59. Latest Java for Windows installed, wine-gecko activated.


The output from running the setup in console:

Comment 14 Tim Sudall 2008-04-26 07:46:35 UTC

Same list as above.

When installing fm 08 using an earlier version of wine, it works.

When launching fm 08 on latest wine, it closes upon credits.

Comment 15 Lei Zhang 2008-04-26 12:43:12 UTC

Please do the regression test as requested in comment 11. Someone with the game need to figure out what changed in Wine to break the installer.

Comment 16 Tim Sudall 2008-04-27 04:14:58 UTC

After doing the regression, it found no bugs. Release -9.49 will install fine, but not play.

Latest release will not even install. However i wasnt able to find the bad patch.

Comment 18 Oliver Lewisohn 2008-05-04 21:03:53 UTC

Bizarrely, it actually seems to install fine with 0.9.61, but it won't play.

When I try to run the game from a terminal, I get quite a lot of output, which I've attached to this bug.

Wine 1.1.2

Comment 20 Miguel 2008-11-18 04:47:58 UTC

By the way, the diff between the wine shell output between the versions that do not yield the install screen (vista, 2003, xp,...) and NT is that the first have 3 extra lines with:

fixme:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Add OpenGL context recreation support to SetDepthStencilSurface
fixme:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Add OpenGL context recreation support to SetDepthStencilSurface

Comment 21 Arno Schuring 2008-12-13 12:55:42 UTC

I'm not sure if I'm seeing the same bug; my FM08 installer (using InstallAnywhere) just displays en empty window (grey canvas) instead of the FM logo and language selection dialog (after extracting - but I'm not seeing the "command box" the OR mentioned). Oddly enough, the window is functional: if I click in the area where the drop-down menu *should* be, I do see the outlines of the box appear, but it's still grey.

I'm currently running a bisection for this (confirmed good: 0.9.61, bad: 1.1.10), but it's a range of 32000+ commits. It might take a while.

Comment 22 Arno Schuring 2008-12-14 13:58:39 UTC

I opened bug #16502 for my issue

Comment 23 Austin English 2009-06-16 14:21:59 UTC

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.23 or newer) wine?

Comment 24 Pauli Nieminen 2009-10-01 06:37:56 UTC

Bug is still present and register workaround does still work. 
HKCU->Software->Wine->Direct3D->DirectDrawRenderer to "gdi"

Comment 25 Austin English 2010-04-30 16:05:07 UTC

Does the demo have the same problem?

yes. Same installer

Comment 27 butraxz 2012-05-17 15:18:56 UTC

This bug has not been updated for two years. Is this still an issue i current (1.5.4) or newer wine ? You may also close this as abandoned if you feel that that this is issue is no longer relevant to you.

Comment 28 lizhenbo 2014-01-29 02:07:39 UTC

I can't see the 'cmd' window in wine 1.7.11
The installer has other problems, but I'm not sure if they are the same one.

Comment 29 Anastasius Focht 2014-01-29 02:37:38 UTC

Hello folks,

adjusted download link to avoid Softonic wrapper installer which has its own bugs (also sideloads other crap).

The original demo installer works fine (installs Java runtime).
There is a non-critical crash of 'remove.exe' cleanup tool at the end of installation which is harmless (bug 32135).
