Well, I tried to install some older games in Linux(Ubuntu 9.10) today (Locomotion and Act of War) and both installers give me an error code "0x8002000E" at startup and then when i get to chosing an installation directory, i can only select C:\windows, changing it has no effect, trying to go on always says it's an unacceptable directory.
Couldn't find anything using google, so does anyone have an idea?

Oh and no suggestion to use Windows please, I got a Windows PC next to me but I am trying to get this to work in Ubuntu, ok...
