Can't get wine hq to start

Okay, then let's try this. Open up the file browser and hit CTRL+H to show hidden files. Look for the .wine directory and go to .wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam. Once you are there, look for a file called "ClientRegistry.blob" and delete it. Then open a terminal and re-run this:

wine SteamTmp.exe SelfUpdate "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" 14

Post back with your results.

i dont see any thing that says .wine, am i looking in the wrong place

Sorry, I should have specified; open your file browser in your home folder, that's where you will find the .wine directory.

I did it in this is what i got

hyg71886@Vanessa:~$ wine SteamTmp.exe SelfUpdate "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" 14
wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\SteamTmp.exe": Module not found
hyg71886@Vanessa:~$ wine SteamTmp.exe SelfUpdate "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" 14
wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\SteamTmp.exe": Module not found

[cogadh]

Try this:

cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam
wine SteamTmp.exe SelfUpdate "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" 14

If that doesn't work, then we have hit the same brick wall I hit when trying to install Steam, which forced me to copy my Steam install off of my Windows partition (hence why I asked you about a Windows install). Supposedly one or both of the things I have told you to do will correct the 26% update problem, but they never worked for me. Maybe one of the other Steam users on the forum can help with it, but if this last one doesn't fix it, I'm out of ideas.

According to this thread, try:

wine "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamTmp.exe" SelfUpdate "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" 14

Also, have you run winecfg in a terminal to create the fake c: (~/.wine/drive_c)?

Edit: Yeah, Cog's above post does pretty much the same thing as I mention here. I'll leave it to the master, never even tried steam myself.

Might want to start over, it kinda looks like SteamTmp.exe isn't there.

-Open you home folder, click View -> Show hidden files.
-Delete the .wine folder.
-Open a terminal and run winecfg.
-Then pick back up at: wine msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi

This is all the help I can provide for now. Getting on the road for a while.

Good luck,
