Warcraft 3 Wine Intallation Error
 

I am trying to install warcraft 3 on wine, but it is not working. The install application launches, but it stop when starting to copy the files (it fails on the first file, blizzard.ax)

I am having this problem for some time and i have no idea on how to fix it....
My system is a Red Hat 9. It is an Athlon 1.7, with a Geforce 4 64MB video board.

Thanks in advance for any help...

Can't help you with wine, but I know that winex is able to play warcraft3.
You can get the cvs for free, but that hasn't got support for installation programs I believe.

indeed winex works great. in fact; i just came back from playing
warcraft 3 five minutes ago...

Try using VMware. Sound is skippy but you don't need it in warcraft.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is VMware?

www.vmware.com there you'll find answers to all your questions about VMware

Support for WarCraft 3 in WineHQ was finished yesterday, still a bit rough and ready but apparently it works:

For the installer, I have no idea. I suspect you may need to run with native cabinet, ole32, oleaut32 and rpcrt4 - either snarf these DLLs from a Win98 system or only get ole32 then install dcom98 using ole32=native

After i changed the ole32.dll to native ( with the native file there ), i got some errors:

err:module:import_dll No implementation for KERNEL32.dll.CreateActCtxW imported from c:\windows\system\ole32.dll, setting to 0xdeadbeef

and several other erros like this, but with other method instead of CreatActCtxW

Still, the installer launched as before and crashed as before too...

Thanks
