Does anyone know how to install the physical CD version of Age of Empires III with Wine?

Like many old PC games, the game comes with an activation-code on the back of the case. The installer asks me for the 25 digit code on the case. I look, and I can see that the code definitely contains 25 digits. But than when I try to input the 25 digit code into the 5 text boxes provided (5 digits per box) only 4 digits can be...

DreitonLullaby,

Oh, cool, I didn’t know the Definitive Edition was free now; nice. Still, I’d like to get the original version working if I can.

DreitonLullaby,

Thanks so much! Yes, running winetricks corefonts worked for me; sorry for the late reply. I can now put all 5 digits in each text box; let’s hope the game runs fine.

DreitonLullaby,

Alright, so I continued the installation and inserted Disc 2 when I needed to, to continue to the next part of the installation. Now I get a ‘feature transfer error’. The error says “Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation. Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information”.

DreitonLullaby,

can you work around this by copy/pasting maybe all 25 characters at once or maybe each segment at a time?

I tried that already and it didn’t work.

Thanks for helping; I still have at least one roadblock stopping me from installing but I managed to solve the text-box issue by installing Microsoft Core Fonts with the command winetricks corefonts

DreitonLullaby,

No I didn’t try that thanks. I’ll give it a shot. I solved the text box issue by installing Microsoft Core Fonts with winetricks corefonts

DreitonLullaby,

Ha! It would be hilarious if this was a ‘Scrapland 2’!
