I get to running the installation for EQ through WINE and it keeps giving me the error "You cannot install to the Windows directory. Please select another location." even though I am specifying other directories. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I use crossover games to run EQ while in MacOSX. The only strange problem I've run into is when it starts to rain in a zone it will make my client crash and I wont be able to log that character back in until the raining stops.

Now I've mostly been playing on a 50GB bootcamp partition under Win7.

So what I did was copy over the Everquest directory from my PC onto my mactop. I then ran the wine command from terminal "wine eqgame.exe patchme", and it worked like a charm.

Let me know if you have any issues w/ crashing - esp if it starts raining in the zone. I may have to switch from crossover to straight up wine.

I just set this up yesterday and am having that same weather problem.

Whenever it rains it's an instant crash (mac+wine). Everything seems to work great otherwise.
