heroes package

heroes v install via unbuntu

Asked by roy

I have a cd copy of Heroes v, if I click setup I get:
Archive: /media/H5A2 GE_B MC06/H5/Setup.exe
[/media/H5A2 GE_B MC06/H5/Setup.exe]
  End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
note: /media/H5A2 GE_B MC06/H5/Setup.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /media/H5A2 GE_B MC06/H5/Setup.exe or
          /media/H5A2 GE_B MC06/H5/Setup.exe.zip, and cannot find /media/H5A2 GE_B MC06/H5/Setup.exe.ZIP, period.

what should I do so I can run it via wine?

thanks

I could not contact them

I tried what they did on youtube and got the following "windows" related errors, does this mean wine is not installed correctly?

roy@roy-MM061:~$ wine h5a2 ge_b mc06/h5a/Setup.exe
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\h5a2.exe"
roy@roy-MM061:~$ wine H5AD GE_B MC06/H5/Setup.exe
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\H5AD.exe"
roy@roy-MM061:~$ wine H5AD GE_B MC06/H5/S
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\H5AD.exe"

thanks

Try:

cd /media/H5A2 GE_B MC06/H5/ ; wine ./Setup.exe

You may get an error about the file not being executable, we'll see

Can you help with this problem?
