[Wine] Re: EA Download Manager

[motub]

[quote="Cleveland Rock"]If I bought DVD copies of The Sims 3 and its expansions, it would cost a total of $110, not counting tax or shipping! For a game I already own and can play on Windows, I don't think it's worth it.

Does this mean there's nothing I can do to help the other poor souls with the downloadable versions of The Sims 3 and/or its expansions?/quote]
I think you misunderstand. James means (I believe), that you download and install to a normal Windows partition, then backup (burn) the install folder to a DVD. Return to Linux, copy the backup install back to a Linux partition, then proceed as above to let Wine know that it's installed and see if it runs.

My apologies for the confusion; I haven't upgraded past XP and totally forgot about Vista and Win 7 as a possible secondary problem.
