Thanks for the thorough explanation. I copied the files yesterday and have been enjoying my cities ever since.

Thanks Handyman and rsc204 for your answers. For Handyman: I tried two ways of installing NAM (for each wine prefix), first from the command line and next by using wine control + add/remove programs. Both ways ended with the same glitch. From the command line I got some errors about rich editor or something like that. To fix this I installed the riched20 package from winetricks, the error messages disappeared but the NAM glitch persisted. As for the custom option, I tried it after reading your advice, but I was unable to find the CanAM option. After some tries with the custom option, I gave up on it. For some of the tries I observed that the installer stuck with other messages (not with the CanAM file), but as mentioned by rsc204, the file itself may have nothing to do with the glitch, unfortunately. By the way, nice to meet another Linux SC4 player here. For rsc204: since the installer was at least successful in patching the executable and creating entries in the windows registry, just copying these folders will be enough to have the complete install? If so, I will keep my windows install of SC4 just to be able to upgrade NAM in the future. The registry key was "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Network Addon Mod" with 4 values. Should I check those from my windows install, just to be on the safe side (maybe export them from Windows to the WINE registry)? Thanks again for the answers, both of you.

Hello everyone. I am facing a strange problem with NAM installation on Linux. As shown in the attached image (and webm video), the installer gets stuck at some point and presents that graphical glitch. The text in portuguese reads "Extract: 0100_CanNAM.txt" I am using Arch Linux, fully up to date. My SC4 is the Steam Version, and I have checked that it is running correctly by creating a new region and playing 2 cities in it, averaging 6 hours without crashes or bugs. The NAM installer is the latest one, 35. I am playing using WINE, latest version: 2.12. Arch Linux has two wine packages, the standard one and the staging version. Both are compiled with 64bit support. To troubleshoot my problem I have tried using 32bit and 64bit prefixes, with wine and wine-staging (at least 4 tests). After each failed test, I completely removed the wine prefix, thus removing the windows registry and all game installation files. I also cleaned the SC4 folder that goes into My Documents, where the plugins are installed. Before each test I checked that SC4 alone was running correctly. I also tried some variation of NAM options (first, second and complete install options, didn't try the custom one) with each wine prefix, before deleting them. I also tested that same NAM package with Windows 8.1, and it installed perfectly. The installer was able to run the cleanitool and the Large Address patch, before getting stuck in that condition. I know that probably this isn't a NAM problem, but I would like some help or at least know if someone else encountered the same behavior for the installer. Thanks in advance. EDIT: Forgot to add that I was also checking my operating system during the install. When it gets stuck, no disk operation is getting done, so it is not copying anything in the background. Also, that file 0100_CanAM.txt is created, but stays with 0 bytes. The installer task goes close to 95% CPU use. I tried to check the task with strace, but that proved to be too much for me, it seems to be looping at the same thing over and over, but I do not have the knowledge to interpret what is going on.
