I dual boot, but dual booting sucks. When trying to run InstallIW4M in mono in terminal I get

gordon@gordon-HP-Pavilion-dv6-Notebook-PC ~/.wine/drive_c/Games/call of duty modern warfare 2 $ mono InstallIW4M.exe 
System.DllNotFoundException: shlwapi.dll
 at (wrapper managed-to-native)  : (intptr,uint)

 at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad (System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in :0 
 at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoadInternal (System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in :0 

 

but when I run it through wine, it works up until I press install. Which crashes and gives me the following feedback in terminal:

gordon@gordon-HP-Pavilion-dv6-Notebook-PC ~/.wine/drive_c/Games/call of duty modern warfare 2 $ wine InstallIW4M.exe

Any ideas? I'm running 64 bit Linux Mint.

You could try using the dedicated server updater (viewtopic.php?t=3698) and run it with mono (in your mw2 directory). Then use wine to start iw4m.dat. That might work

When I tried that it gave me an error saying it can't find IW00 and IW22. I have them both in the main folder.

try with wine

I doubt it, unless .Net 3.5 works properly now?

it should, somewhat.

Nearly everything can be run on linux, if you can't then you just didn't spend enough time
