Help with Cedega


Well, i'm having trouble installing Cedega. It installs okay i think, but when i try to run a windows .exe file (such as unreal) it opens a box asking what program i want to open the file with.
I'm running fedora Core 1 with KDE.

Hi!

Don't try to run the executable by clicking on it. Open a terminal and use command line only. This not only gives you more control, but also gives a much better output for errors. Try:

cedega <path/to/executable/setup.exe>

There's a port of Unreal and UT for Linux, so you could run it natively, without the need of cedega or wine. Here is a little list of installers that might help you:

Good luck!
