# - Wine 3.x.x: "Windows installer: File source not found: 1. Check if this file exist..." Trick: Instead to run \splash.exe  run \english\setup.exe

Message

Currently (2019-06) this game seems not installable because of it's DRM (Tages).

 

To (try) to improve (ie: newer Wine).

 

I'll do a report on Appdb with Wine 3.0.5 or 4.0.1 then try to improve this script.
