Minor Wine + Steam Problem

[tpnerdcore]

ok, i want to install steam on wine. I found a guide that's fairly simple on winhq.com. But the thing is i need to install the mozilla active X control thing. And it tells me to unzip to a folder that wine can read. I cant find anywhere physically on my filesystem that says wine. Can anybody help me where this is or how to get to this folder so i can install steam correctly. Thanks


~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/mozcontrol.

Open nautilus (the file browser) and go to your Home Folder.
Press Ctrl+H to show hidden files and folders.
Open the .wine folder.
Open drive_c > Program Files
Make a new directory called mozcontrol.
Thats where you put the files that you unzipped into.
Ask if you have anymore questions.

What errors does it give when you type
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam && wine Steam.exe
*EDITED* correct way to run Steam. Thanks to linkunderscore.

When I tried to run the above command I got an error about a missing VGUI2.dll or somthing, but when I ran the script I made, it let me boot into CS. If you want that script I can post it here.

you have to run Steam.exe FROM INSIDE THAT DIRECTORY

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/SteamApps/Steam/

then do "wine Steam.exe"

its ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam

and i edited the command to the proper one now thanks.

Here's (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=94644&page=2&highlight=CS.bash) the link to make a shortcut to start CS.

~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam$ wine steam

well when i want to install steam it asks for layout librarys or something like that:( does anybody know what to do. I did find how to put a mozcontrol directory in program files thanks for that. Does anybody know about the layout library?

Did you run wine regsvr32 mozctlx.dll from the mozcontrol directory? I remember that when I first tried to do it, it said completed but I still got that error. I just retried it again (twice) and then it worked. Maybe it could help you too?

[tpnerdcore]

Well thanks man, but it saiys it failed to find the DLL. Shouldi enter the code abouve after i try to install it again?? Or what. Because i triedto do it and it said the DLL was missing so any sugestions?

Did you accidentally do any of this using the sudo command? Running things as root (do not run Wine as root) will cause files to be owned by root, and make them unreadable by Wine.

Try setting everything in Wine's folder to be owned by your user: sudo chown -r user:user /home/user/.wine

replace user with your username, of course.

[tpnerdcore]

its saying :

anthony@ubuntu:~$ sudo chown -r anthony:anthony /home/anthony/.wine
chown: invalid option -- r
Try `chown --help' for more information.


did i do it right???

He meant:

anthony@ubuntu:~$ sudo chown -R anthony:anthony /home/anthony/.wine

That way, you will change owner "R"ecursively through the folder.
