Hello all,

I'm currently using POL 4.2.1 and I'm attempting to install Armies of Exigo from CD's I bought a long time ago.  Game runs fine in Windows.  I just wanted to see if I could get it running in Ubuntu 13.10.  I already tried using Wine 1.6.1 and the installation appeared to go well.  It asked me for my CD-Key and everything.  Had a bit of trouble getting Wine to recognize the second CD, but I found if I just mounted it again (thus indicating AOXCD2 instead of AOXCD1) it worked fine.  After it installed I couldn't get it running.  After reading a bunch of posts and not really understanding what I was reading (mostly they didn't pertain to my specific problem) I found a post saying I should try Play on Linux because it's easier to navigate.  I removed Wine and my Armies of Exigo installation.  Then I reinstalled Wine 1.6.1 (sudo apt-get install wine) and POL (sudo apt-get install playonlinux). 

Install fails outright when attempting to install via POL.  I think it's failing because it needs the CD-Key, but it never prompts me for it and I can't figure out how to use it.  CD-Key works because it worked for the install when I tried to use Wine directly.  I'll go ahead and post the error log below:

Hmmm..My apologies, but some of this seems to be repetitive.  I think it's because I attempted to install twice, but I'm afraid I don't know enough about the repetitive bits to delete them and I think it's safer to keep 'em in here.

Please accept my apologies if CD-Keys have been discussed in an earlier post.  I tried to search for them, but I couldn't find anything.  I tried "CD-Keys", "Armies of Exigo install CD-Key", and "how do I use a CD-Key"

Thank you so much for your help! 

-Ed-

First, upgrade to the newest version of POL. Its version 4.2.2 on our download page.

Then, copy ALL of the data from both discs to a folder on your drive somewhere, and try to re-run the installation, but this time DONT run the installer from the CD. Run it from where you copied all of that.

A CD-Key is a number that allows you to use it. If you dont have a CD-Key, you cannot play the game. Its for copyright protection.

Okay, thanks. I'll grab the newest version of POL. I have the CD's and I have the CD-Key. This is a legitimate copy of the game. My question was how to use the CD-Key in conjuction with POL's installation routine. When I tried using WINE by itself (no POL front end) it asked for the CD-Key and it worked. I just couldn't get the game running. When I tried installing via POL, install fails right away and it never asked for the CD-Key. That's why I thought the POL install failed. No CD-Key and the install fails just like it would if I were installing via Windows.

We wont support no-CD-Key installs.

The install failed, so that is why you didnt see it.

Do what I said above. That should do it. If the game still crashes, then you most likely need some dependency to get it to work.
