I have Silkroad online already installed on my windows partition... how do I add it to the playonlinux list of games without installing again?

I think the easier way for you is to reinstall it if you want to avoid some problems

Is that the best answer you can give? I also have World of Warcraft installed on my computer already. It was done under Wine, and I seriously don't want to download all four CDs again.

I've already had to twice because I tweaked my Linux just a tad too deep and didn't know how to troubleshoot out of it, so I had to reformat and reinstall everything. (And sadly, only a couple hours ago I deleted the images. )

There must be a simple way to add stuff we've already installed. If there isn't a way now, I think there should be such an option, even if it comes with a warning label.

It causes problems 90% of time due to the ntfs or vfat partition

What if I'm playing my game from a JFS or any other Linux partition?

Hi clovis6780,

I think Tinou misunderstood what you said. He maybe read too fast and believe you installed WoW on Windows. So we don't care about the partition type as long as it's a Linux one.

But, even if the partition type is solved, another remain: there is currently no way to add a game already installed.
So I think it would be a good idea to add that kind of feature in a future version of POL. You should propose it in the dedicated section.

Bye

open in your terminal

wineshelllink --menu --path /media/sda2/World Of Warcraft/Wow.exe --link WoW

just change the path for your system and your g2g

I love the use of konsole. But when i tried this, I got.

wineshelllink: command not found


so i thought it was missing tried to install

sudo apt-get install wineshellink


and got
E: Couldn't find package wineshelllink


I was wondering if its in another wine package, that I am missing. I know the dates are old here, but command is the best and just wanted to know if there is a new work around?

my pc info can be found here!

Also like to add I have wine1.2 and the latest playonlinux installed. I can run the game under wine already, but get some errors from time to time and was seeing if this is a better option.(easier option)

still no progress on this issue after 3 years? It's a basic feature and you find many threads about this on google.

I think this wont be difficult to implement and would really improve the usability of POL.
