Issue with running downloaders for MMOs

Asked by Brandon Chan

i tried running an installer for a game called maplestory and the downloader starts just fine when i use Wine(windows emulator) but the installer just disappears. I tried relocating the Maplestory folder into a folder where i could find it on ubuntu and they weren't there like they don't even exist. How do I fix this?

What do you mean when you say the installer disappears? Do you mean that the installer doesn't run once downloaded, or that you are unable to locate the executable file for the installer?

If you're trying to find an executable file inside your Wine "system", you can run this command in the Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal):

find ~/.wine -iname \*.exe > ~/Desktop/wine-exes.txt

That will create a list of all .exe files inside your Wine "system", and put it on your desktop (your Ubuntu desktop, not your Wine "Windows" desktop, if different). By examining the contents of wine-exes.txt on your desktop after that command completes (i.e. after you see a $ sign and cursor again), you may be able to find the file you're looking for.

There's a workaround here for the most common installer problem in Maplestory with Wine. Perhaps it will solve your problem.

If the above suggestions don't solve your problem, please post again.

Can you help with this problem?
