So i've installed wow under my windows NTFS partition, under Ubuntu Karmic it is mounted with full permissions. i've tried to run the game through wine but it just does not want to run. do i need to be concerned about the windows registry? i mean, i read tha wine uses its own registry, this could be the source of teh problem. any ideas?

Describe, step by step, exactly what happens when you try to run World of Warcraft.

First, install recent Wine version - 1.1.42 or at least 1.1.41. Then install the game properly, don't try to run it from Windows partition: mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.old wineboot wine start /unix "/path/to/setup.exe" Replace "/path/to/setup.exe" with actual name and path to your setup file. Please note that "wine start /unix" is recommended way to run Windows executables (without "start /unix" you will need to navigate to the directory with the executable you want to run). This will install the game correctly. Then try to run it. If you still have the problem - post here terminal output. Thank you for using Wine.
