I am running most of the GOG games from within CrossOver and that has almost always worked or when it didn't it was the game that refused to run. However, Tonight I got a few games from the Interplay special and on 2of them I get an access violation error almost as soon as the installer is started. This in the xp environment as well as in the vista one.

When I looked in the CrossOver forums, I noticed another person who encountered this problem. We are searching on that side as well but I'd like to know whether there is a new installer version that was used to create some of the packages. We did have a new CrossOver version not long ago, but I have installed other GOG games on it without any problems.

The exact error is
run time error (at 130:148):
Access violation at address 47CF1763 in module 'gdiplus.dll'. Read of address 00215B84

edit: no code tag :)

The 2.0 installer doesn't work on Wine1.4, which I believe Crossover is currently based on. Some people have reported it working on Wine 1.5.

Try running it with /nogui parameter. It's a safe mode that's missing most features, but should work :-)

Hah...thank you! /nogui works :)

How do you do this in Crossover?

Honestly I don't know, as I never used it. But you need to pass that as a command line argument (as in "setup_some_game.exe /nogui"). From what I found Crossover has a "Run a Windows Command" menu, so probably you can do it through that. Check the documentation to be sure.

Thanks, found it.

Thank you Gowor!

This still works.

Just came across this problem when trying to install Star Control 1+2 (which I bought today), and again, the nogui thing worked. (I use Wine, not Crossover) Thanks!

/nogui also worked for me for Fallout 1 on xubuntu 13.10 + wine.

Thanks, /nogui worked for me also.

It's lame but how can I run .exe with /nogui switch?

OK, forget it.... :D

Same thing was happening to me on Lubuntu 13.10 on Wine 1.4.1, /nogui fixed it, thanks!

Upping this topic to say that I had the same issue with both Blackwell Bundle and Epiphany, and /NOGUI solved it. It probably works with every game.
