Hey, I've been trying to install Age of Empires II on Wine now, I have the expansion too but I'm not installing it right now. I've installed the game and it's in my 'c drive' but when i open it up in Wine File, and double click on the exe 'empires2' nothing happens. The uninstall.exe works, but not the play one. Anybody know why?
It does not work on Wine, but does on CedegaQuote:

In any case I'm beginning to think I should maybe install Cedega, can you have it at the same time as wine?
AOE2 & its expansion work on wine with a gold rating, meaning it installs & runs almost without issue.
yes you can install cedega side-by-side with wine but i wouldn't do it cuz as i said, there isn't a reason to since wine runs its just fine.
could you clarify? do you mean you're double clicking the aoe2 executable and its not starting?
Yes, I double click it and nothing happens. With the trial (which I installed just to see if it would work) gives me a graphical error which I remember reading about in another thread so I could fix that if I really wanted to but I'd rather install the full version.
I have tried taking the CD out and trying it again, I've also tried running it from the terminal but that didn't work either.
you should try launching it from command line to get a more verbose output. (do this with every program to get more info).
something like this:
wine /path/to/aoe2.exe
