Installing Fallout 3 DLC on Ubuntu


So even linux users want to play games but PC games are mostly made for Windows platform. So here is a guide to install Windows Game - Fallout 3 on Ubuntu

Step 1: Go do www.playonlinux.com and download the ubuntu package (deb file) and run it to install play on linux

Step 2: Open PlayOnLinux and select Games Tab. Select Fallout 3 DLC (Because that is the version I had setup files for). Click Install

Step 3 : If it does not throw any error while installing. Good News! Just give the location of setup file when it asks for setup files by selecting 'Other Location' option

If it gives errors while installing like it did in mine. I got the below error

Runtime error (at -1:0)
Cannot import dll C\users\sourabhinani\Temp\is-40GT7.tmp\isskin.dll


What to do to resolve this error?
Go to the folder where setup file is kept and Open Terminal
Give the command - winetricks vcrun6sp6
This is a helper script which will install required redistributable runtime libraries needed to run some programs in wine.

Finally run wine setup.exe

The installation should start. Happy Gaming!
