COD4 Not installing in Cedega from AUR

Hi,

I am attempting to install COD4 on my new system, i am running archlinux with nvidia drivers, i attempt to install COD4 with 7.3.0, and I get the following error:

Sat 17:33:01 Call of Duty 4 setup.exe The DLL 'OLEAUT32.dll' cannot be found or loaded.
Sat 17:33:01 Call of Duty 4 setup.exe The program failed to start with the error 0x2

So i put the DLL OLEAUT32 into the games system32 folder and then i get this error

Sat 17:29:13 Call of Duty 4 setup.exe The program crashed with an unhandled exception.

Cedega diagnostics shows

Cedega Diagnostics Report

Starting test: dependency

So everything looks fine there, and as far as i know i have all the needed libs

Re: COD4 Not installing in Cedega from AUR

I generally play games with WINE and Steam, and use winetricks to get some things going in that direction for me, so I did a little search:

user ~ $ winetricks blah | grep -i ole
 dcom98        MS DCOM (ole32, oleaut32); requires Windows 98 license, but does not check for one

So, if I were in your situation, I would run this to fix the problem, hopefully. Maybe you could go in that direction, because I'm not familiar with Cedega.
