Fails to launch/install on Ubuntu 18.10 #5

Closed Vilasamuni closed 5 years ago

Every time I run the snap I'm prompted to check I've got the game files in place (I have), I click install and CnCNet5_YR.Installer.exe is downloaded, The CnCNet installer/updater runs, but then I get an error message titled CnCNetYRLauncher.exe -.NET Framework: Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application. I click OK, and try to run the snap again but the whole cycle starts again. Am I missing something obvious?

I've attached a log of the output in the commandline - cncra2yr.log

Hope you can help, really looking forward to playing this old game! Thanks in advance.

looks like game setup was not completed so snap can not find exe file to run. Make sure you have correct game files in place $HOME/snap/cncra2yr/common/.wine/drive_c/Westwood/RA2 folder.

/snap/cncra2yr/30/bin/sommelier: line 114: cd: /home/ben/snap/cncra2yr/common/.wine/drive_c/Westwood/RA2/Updater/Resources/clientxna.exe
/home/ben/snap/cncra2yr/common/.wine/drive_c/Westwood/RA2/Resources: No such file or directory
wine: cannot find '/home/ben/snap/cncra2yr/common/.wine/drive_c/Westwood/RA2/Updater/Resources/clientxna.exe
/home/ben/snap/cncra2yr/common/.wine/drive_c/Westwood/RA2/Resources/clientxna.exe'

Woops, sorry for wasting your time.

I had an old copy of the game on Windows which I hadn't used in ages... no idea how it got corrupted, but reinstalling the files into the appropriate snap directory made it work.

Thanks!
