Having trouble getting world of warcraft running on ubuntu 8.10
I am duel booting Windows xp and Ubuntu 8.10. I installed WOW on windows so I copied all the files from windows to a folder called world of warcraft 1 in my home on ubuntu. When I click lanucher.exe in the world of warcraft folder I get this.
My Archive manager says an "error has occured while loading the archive" (null) Command line output [/home/kyle/world of warcraft 1/Launcher.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: /home/kyle/world of warcraft 1/Launcher.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/kyle/world of warcraft 1/Launcher.exe or /home/kyle/world of warcraft 1/Launcher.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/kyle/world of warcraft 1/Launcher.exe.ZIP, period. |

You do not mention that you have installed or configured WINE. A Windows exe file can not be executed directly in linux. You need an intermediate layer that meet a Windows installation file as if it were in Windows. An alternative is to install a virtual machine in linux and Windows within that. http://www.winehq.org/ http://www.winehq.org/download/deb Depending on your hardware, you might expect that WOW is better on Windows than linux. Good Luck |
