Running windows-installed game from linux

I have a dual-boot computer with IWD installed on the Windows partition. I tried to run gemrb on the installed game from linux, but not sure how to do it. For example, my dos partition is mounted /dosc, and I try something like this:

 

$ gemrb /dosc/Program Files (x86)/Icewind Dale Complete/IDMain.exe

 

But that gives error: "[Core]: Could not load config file [ERROR]". Any tips how to run the game on the existing install? I hope to avoid the extra disk space required to install the game on both partitions.

 

I also looked in the getting started guide (link below), and it mentions only installing with wine, or using "./auto-installer.sh", which I couldn't find.

Thanks!

GemRB is independent from the .exe. It is a replacement to the .exe not a shell of it.

Its parameter is a config file, see the supplied example, and set it up according to the comments.

The config file works great. Thank you.

 

There seems to be a small problem with using the original path. But if I make a symbolic link it works fine. I'll post again when I find more details.
