your problem…while waiting for help here you might uncover an

Did you install the game or just copy the folder from Windows? Could be you need to do an install.

Also I’m not sure if that is a registry entry that is being referred to (the load comment quoted)… but with Linux the \ should be a / (e.g. C:/windows/system32/hl.exe)

Also it’s better/recommended to run Wine apps from the emulated C: drive that you can find in your home folder (default = ~/.wine/drive_c)
If needed copy the files & try running it from there:
wine ‘c:/<your halflife folder>/hl.exe’

Hope that helps,

I’m just gonna go out on a limb here but I’m guessing he installed the program as root, thus the /root/Desktop/hl.exe and is trying to run it as a user. If he installed the files to /root/.wine/drive_c/…, but is trying to run it as a user,
it would definitely complain about not finding the app. It’d be looking in /home/username/.wine/drive_c/… where it’s actually in /root/.wine/drive_c/…

Just a guess.
Check and see if you DID install too /root/.wine or /home/your_user_name/.wine
If it’s in /root that’s your (1st) problem (you may run into more with WINE)

Hope this helps!

Good catch! Might well be the issue.
