Help me run Pro Rally 2001 (it's very easy) (self.retrogaming)

Hey everyone.

So, the problem is that in order to launch Pro Rally 2001, you first need to launch the RallySetup.exe, so that the game would create a config file called ed3.ini. But I use Linux and am trying to run this game with Wine. And Wine seemingly can run the main executable, but not RallySetup.exe.

So, what I need is for someone who uses Windows to just install that game and then sned me that file ed3.ini. I don't think I can tell you where to download the game, but it's basically abandonware, so many websites have it.

So anyway, if you helped me, I'd be very grateful.

EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who participated!

Unfortunately, the game still doesn't work at the moment. I suppose I'll have to just run a virtual machine for it. But I wouldn't know if I didn't try.

Ah shit, it's still not working. It doesn't give the error anymore, but now it just crashes. Well, it was worth a shot anyway, thanks again.
