Ubuntu Webcam problem

Hello
My problem is when I try to install my webcam this message "Archive: / media/cdrom0/setup.exe. / media/cdrom0/setup.exe. End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it Constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk (s) of this archive. Note: / media/cdrom0/setup.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive zipinfo: can not find zipfile directory in one of / or media/cdrom0/setup.exe / media/cdrom0/setup.exe.zip, and can not find / media/cdrom0/setup.exe.ZIP, period. Is there any other way that I can finally use the webcam.

Which model of webcam is it? For a webcam you will not install the same way as Windows and Linux.

I have a webcam "Logitech QuickCam" What I tried finding it found but not got a solution for it yet, and when I go on official site they say "You do not have libfile, so you can not send or receive webcam" Thanks in advance.

Re: Ubuntu Webcam problem

Hi
You are supposed to install all your software as well. In particular it will install all the dependencies that you may need to run your software. I recommend you to install your msn client that way. Note that there are many clients available in linux msn, which emesene Pidgin, kopete, amsn. Personally I use Kopete (KDE) and Pidgin (under gnome and sub windows).
