wine users - May 2004 - Still having troubles installing Starcraft (using wine 20040505)

Hello list,
I changed to Linux completely (meaning i do not have any windows installed on 
my computer) a couple of months ago, but sometimes i miss playing a game. So 
I tried to install Starcraft under wine 20040505 and got that well known 
error about not being able to create the Start Menu Icons. 

Until now I spended a couple of hours searching for a solution, but could not 
find one. So I decided to ask the list.

this is the important part of my user.reg (or so I believe)


[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders] 
986159144
"Desktop"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Desktop"
"Favorites"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Favorites"
"Fonts"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts"
"NetHood"="C:\\WINDOWS\\NetHood"
"Personal"="C:\\My Documents"
"Programs"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Start Menu\\Programs"
"Recent"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Recent"
"SendTo"="C:\\WINDOWS\\SendTo"
"Start Menu"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Start Menu"
"StartUp"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup"
"Templates"="C:\\WINDOWS\\ShellNew"

[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\User Shell Folders] 
986159144
"Favorites"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Favorites"
"Personal"="C:\\My Documents"

I would be very grateful for any ideas to get Starcraft to work.

Yours sincerly
Felix

First of all look at http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wine-user/bugs
In any case, you should send the shell output you get when running wine, your
linux distro name and version, and how you installed wine (Source, RPM,
whatever).

Ivan.
