Hi MindLikeWater,

Not much to say about your script:
- POL_SetupWindow_VMS is not needed for DOSBox based installations, as its only effect is to store the amount of video memory available in the Wine registry (which is not used by DOSBox);
- For a reason that's still mysterious to me, more and more people have problems running GOG installers with Wine 1.4.x; It could be worthwhile to use the now available 1.6.2-dos_support_0.6 (I don't expect any modification of the script to be required).

That's it!
Pierre.

Hi petch!

I incorporated your corrections and submitted the script. :)

By the way, switching to "1.6.2-dos_support_0.6" reminded me that this ugly little bug (that you once discovered) is still present, even in this new version of wine. :( Even though it is easy to get around it, I think it would be still good to find a fix for that. Otherwise, it could be a blocker for new users of PlayOnLinux who might not be so technically skilled / interested.

Best regards!

I'm waiting for a 1.6.2-dos_support_0.7 ;)

Ah! Ok, I should have read through the bugtracker a little bit more. ;)

I am also experiencing some of the mentioned bugs, like the Alsa bug (games like Privateer play sound effects, but no music). So I keep my fingers crossed for some bug fixes!

Libraries related bugs are very difficult to fix, they'd need testing on many distros, many releases, and sometimes deep knowledge of those libs...
Any help on binary portability under Linux is highly welcome!

Script validated!

Great, thanks alot! :)
