Hey guys,

I am new here and I am trying to take part in the gaming fun.
However as a Mac user I know things are a bit harder.

I managed to install X-Wing Alliance from GOG with the most recent Wineskin-Engine WS11WineCX64Bit21.1.0 and Wrapper 2.9.0.9-4.
However, when trying to install the Upgrade on top of the XWA installation, I get the following error message:

System.ArgumentException: The drive name does not exist
Parameter name: driveName

Attached is a screenshot of the error as well.

Is there any way to get around this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Matt

Good luck! I use to try to do this back when I had a Mac. I was never quite successful. Actually come to think of it, I have never been successful getting XWAU to work on normal wine under linux. Base game runs fine as you noted.
