           Summary: Installation of Total Annihilation original does not
                    run to completion
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.26
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: hughperkins at gmail.com


Installation of Total Annihilation original does not run to completion.

An error appears at the end "Could not open readme.txt".  Perhaps it is looking
in the wrong place?

The intallation completes for the most part: the game runs.  However this bug
has two consequences:
- the start menu icons are not created, so the game has to be launched from the
commandline, and the images are not obviously available anywhere to create
one's own start menu icons (at least: they don't look beautiful)
- the Core Contingency expansion cannot be installed from the setup.exe
provided, because it says that ta is not installed, which can feasibly be
explained by certain registry entries being unavailable, since hte original
installation did not run to completion

This bug is fairly minor: it does not prevent the game being played, and there
are workarounds available (fairly easy once you know / have documented them) to
install core contingency, but on the other hand my gut feeling is it might be
fairly easy to fix, since it could be just a relative path being used where an
absolute path is needed, or some other bug related to paths being joined
together not quite in the way that was intended.

The bug does mean that people may not be able to install Core Contingency
without checking the how-to in the total annihilation database.
