Hi all, Im having problems installing Diablo 2 with wine. The version of wine im using is 20040615. The installer opens a window with the error messsage "No start menu found". In the console i get a "fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet" .When i click ok, the program exits. I have installed Diablo2 in the past with older versions of wine, but a lot of things have changed in wine since I last tried it. The whole dosdevice symlink thing is new. The wine command allso segfaults every time i use it, but i can make things work with wine-pthread. Why is that? It is quite possible that im missing something that is painfully obvious to everyone else. I looked on google and found several mentions of this same problem. The fix is supposedly to add an entry in regedit. I have tried to do this, but it didnt solve my problem. What do you guys do to make this game work in wine? Thanks for any help. John

Why is that?You are using a kernel with vDSOs enabled and are not using the latest release of Wine, which fixes that crash.> I looked on google and found several mentions of this same problem.
