The installer still does not copy the data from CD-drive to hard disk properly.
I get the following message during the installation (playonlinux-cmd ----start-install "Age Of Empires III")
Age Of Empires III
Wait while the installation is prepared...
cp: cannot stat `/media/AoE III Disc 1/*': No such file or directory Currently, the copy-lines are
cp -r "$CDROM/*" "$TEMP"
, This however is not a valid path, it should be
cp -r "$CDROM"/* "$TEMP"
instead.
$ > cp -r "/media/AoE III Disc 1/*" ~/aoe3
cp: cannot stat `/media/AoE III Disc 1/*': No such file or directory
$ > cp -r "/media/AoE III Disc 1"/* ~/aoe3
$ > (no error) Hope you can it fix soon.
Thanks in advance!
GNU_Raziel, thanks for looking into it.
The script now copies the data to the disk, however there is another problem.
See the output-snippet below, the CD-ROM question is for the third disc.

Where is your CD-ROM mounted?

Press: 2 for entry: cdrom

Click on "Next" ONLY when the game installation is finished
or you will have to redo the installation.
Type: '1' for continue or '2' to cancel. Your answer: As you can can see, it searches the wrong place for the installer. The data is correctly put into the dosdevice d:$ ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/AOE3/dosdevices/d:> ls

Age of Empires III.msi directx9 instmsiw.exe setup.exe SSE.dll I checked the script, I think I have found the problem here:
chmod 777 "$TEMP" -R
CHECK=$(find . -iwholename ./setup.exe)
if [ "$CHECK" == "" ]; then
wine "d:\\\\instalar.exe"
else
wine "d:\\\\setup.exe"
fi
find can not find setup.exe, because it is searching in /media (it is not allowed to access the ./WD schijf Eva)
I can think of two possible solutions.
1. CD to $TEMP, and then execute find
2. or (maybe prefered) change the find line into:
CHECK=$(find "$TEMP" -iname setup.exe)
Hope this will do the trick :)
Edit Also the Asian Dynasties and War Chiefs have this find-bug. In those scripts,
GNU_Raziel, thanks for the update. The install runs fine now.
Still, there seem te bo some (minor) problems (involving some regedit stuff)

I believe the .reg error can be fixed as follows:
#Fix for this game
cd "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/temp/"
echo "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\\\Software\\\\Wine\\\\DllOverrides]" > AoE3_Fix.reg
echo "\\"quartz\\"=\\"native\\"" >> AoE3_Fix.reg
echo "\\"devenum\\"=\\"native\\"" >> AoE3_Fix.reg
echo "\\"msxml4\\"=\\"native\\"" >> AoE3_Fix.reg
regedit override.reg
change last line to
regedit AoE3_Fix.reg
________
If that's resolved, this part is finished then. I'll come back here if I find any (other) Age of Empires III (related) problems (i.e. updates or expansions)
All right. At least "Age Of Empires III" install works fine now....
however the expansion packs AND updates are all broken.
For the War Chiefs expansion, POL tells me that it can not find the CDROM!
Welcome to PlayOnLinux's Installation Wizard.
This wizard will help you install Age Of Empires III : The WarChiefs on your computer.
This program was created by: Ensemble Studios

This installation program is provided by: NSLW & GNU_Raziel
Age Of Empires III : The WarChiefs will be installed in: /home/remco/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/AOE3

Install Age of Empires III first.
Type: '1' for continue or '2' to cancel. Your answer: 1 I hope you can fix both scripts (and I hope you will also check the Asian Dynasties, War chiefs patch and Asian Dynasties patch).
POL_SetupWindow_check_cdrom "Age of Empires III - The Asian Dynasties.msi"
to
POL_SetupWindow_check_cdrom "age of empires iii - the warchiefs.msi"
Thanks in advance for that.
I have also rewritten the patch-installers. I will post them later (It's now installing the Warchiefs and Asian Dynasties, I'll create a patch-installer for those as well...)
Edit: Right, I have a version in which all files are in lowercase, but that's certainly not true for all CDs(!)
Maybe it is wise to do a check for both "Age of..." and "age of..." (in lowercases)? (both Asian and Warchiefs), or omit the CD-check...?
Since I can not update the patches myself, I will post them. I've updated them, and I really hope some one can update the files in the repository.
As you can see, the files are almost identycal (except for the header (all before "#langvars"))

Four(!) more notes:
* I have problems with the sound (it just won't work with sound)
* Shortcuts for the expansions are not created (?)
* The Asian Dynasties script checks for the war chiefs CD (see http://www.playonmac.com/repository/?script=536)
POL_SetupWindow_check_cdrom "age of empires iii - the warchiefs.msi"
must be:
POL_SetupWindow_check_cdrom "Age of Empires III - The Asian Dynasties.msi"
* The patch 1.14 (http://www.playonmac.com/repository/?script=650) starts with a ], it results in a notice message, however install starts normally
I will redo the installations. Let's hope it all works well, and for myself I hope that will fix my sound problem.
I will come back here to report the installation.
Errors fixed and addons cdrom check disabled as you're probably right about cases.
Try setting SoundHardwareAcceleration to Emulation in winecfg, if your distro use pulseaudio it's a common bug.
Expansions shortcuts are not mandatory right ? if you launch main game, you can still use expansions ?
All right. Installation is working properly, for all patches and games.
I invoke the games with a special tool (AoE loader, it's a fix for multiplayer over hamachi).
When starting the game without sound, it works perfectly.
When I start the game with sound, I hear sounds during the cinematics (startup movies), but the game crashes. I am told by the game that it can not find "l3codecx.ax". However I can find the file in the system32 folder of my prefix.
I'll post my log on how I will try to get sound.
=================================
remco@linux-xikw:~> ls /home/remco/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/AOE3/drive_c/windows/system32/l3codecx.ax
/home/remco/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/AOE3/drive_c/windows/system32/l3codecx.ax In order to solve this problem, I try to register the DLL
remco@linux-xikw:~> env WINEPREFIX="/home/remco/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/AOE3" wine regsvr32 l3codecx.ax
Successfully registered DLL l3codecx.ax Voila, the game starts now!
But... there is no sound on speakers yet (only at the cinematics again)
Let's try the emulation now...
Setting DirectSound to Hardware Accelartion: Emulation. (Sound driver set to OSS)
Result: no progress...
Let's try ALSA now...
Result: Booh! Even no sound during intro cinematics
Switching back to OSS.
I read something about extracting the l3codecx.ax from a Windows XP CD.
Maybe that will work then... I will use it to overwrite the l3codecx.ax, and see what happens.
I will also put in in ~/.wine//home/remco/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
Result: Does not work... Only intro cinematics sound...
What can be wrong? I have no pulseaudio installed...
I am 100% that I got the sound working before my complete system reinstall (also using OpenSuse 11.3, and PlayOnLinux (the older installationscript).
Ok, wine 1.3.9 works, however the Age Of Empires III installation script needs one change and one addition.
It will enable sound, but no MP3 playback (computer taunts and background music are taunts).
The change (this will enable the in-game sound, native doesn't work, no crash):
the library quartz should be change from "native" to "builtin" (so change the following line)
echo "\\"quartz\\"=\\"native\\"" >> AoE3_Fix.reg
to
echo "\\"quartz\\"=\\"builtin\\"" >> AoE3_Fix.reg
(please double check if builtin is spelled correctly...)
Also the game starts with a complaint that is not able to find the l3codecx.ax. This file is being installed by Age Of Empires itself, but not correctly registrated. If I execute the following command after the install, the complaint goes away.
env WINEPREFIX="/home/remco/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/AOE3" wine regsvr32 l3codecx.ax It won't fix the music problem, however the annoying "can not find..." error is gone :)
(I don't know how to properly register this file within a playonlinux script. The file should be registered after the gameinstall is complete).
I believe these changes should only be made in http://www.playonmac.com/repository/?script=437
I can play the game over (a linux native install of) hamachi network with my friends who are on Windows :D
(the game works better under wine than under my current Windows installation...?!?!?)
