I know this might seem like a repeat question, but I've literally looked over 100 threads on how to get SC2 to work on ubuntu 12.04 through wine and none have worked.
I downloaded wine new today, and inserted my purchased SC2 disk.
When I try to open the installer (installer.exe) with wine, an error appear saying:
"No installer data could be found. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support."
I searched for solutions to mediate this issue and was directed to the following source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1435314 .
I followed directions through until I got to
ls
I tried various combinations of (ls installer.exe, ls'/home/rothic/Desktop/Installer.exe, etc.)
All come back with "no such file or directory".
Im not sure what to do, the next step would be to replace the "starcraft_installer" with the starcraft installer file, which Im not sure how to do (very new to linux).
I tried WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_starcraft/ wine starcraft_installer
and it says "wine: cannot find L"C:\windows\system32\starcraft_installer.exe"
despite it being on the desktop as advised.
Any suggestions on where to go from here?
ls
lists files (I know that "lost" is just a typo but it's better to be clear when explaining the basics). It's something like thedir
command in Windows. But you're right, executed alone it can't in any way tamper yourStarcraft II
setup.gold
by a bunch of people. At least now you know that this thing is doable.
