Distro: Ubuntu 9.04/Jaunty with gnome
wine version: 1.1.23

I have tried the Dark Messiah script several times, but it always freezes while making the wine prefix.
This is the console output:
PlayOnLinux v3.5

I hope this is enough information :)
Thanks for help in advance

Check if you've got DarkMessiahOfMightAndMagic in "./PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/" and what is the size of this directory. You could also delete this directory and try once again.

The prefix contains 33.0 MB
I'll try to delete it and see what happens

It froze again... I think there might be something wrong with the script

Yes, but the script don't freeze on prefix creation. I think it freezes on DirectX setup. What Wine version do you have installed on your system? Anyway try this script. Save it to file and run it as non-official from Tools menu.

For script go here

Thank you, i managed to install Dark Messiah :3
But when i tried to update it... The installer says it can't find the game :(
Do you know why?

Nevermind. I installed the game manually using the dark messiah prefix. Then the patch-thingy worked :)
Thanks for helpng me!

I'll modify script so patching shouldn't be a problem
