I compile and install the 1.1.42 wine version without problems. I copy all files of the installation DVDs in my home directory and then install it. 1.1.42 wine version, is the recomended in the Top-10 Gold List. Classic WoW and The Burning Crusade are installed ok, but WOTLK not detect the installation files. http://rapidshare.com/files/380159244/WoW_WOTLK_error_messaje.png.html Message says: Insert the CD with the name "Wrath of the Lich King" disc 1 I use Linux Debian.
If you log into your account at the battlenet page you can do the install as a download from the website, no disks or disk images needed. As long as you don't have metered internet it is usually less of a hassle to install that way. I just checked my disk images and all three work fine, but I am only in wine 1.1.38 so that's not a good comparison for you. If you need to do the install from your disks/drive check the wowwiki wine page for installs or the troubleshooting page, one of those may have a work around listed for you to try: http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft_functionality_on_Wine http://www.wowwiki.com/Wine_troubleshooting
I know the way you say, but I not like because is very very slow. Only the WOTLK are 6 Gb to download, AND all the patches (some Gb more). And the method you say is only if the player lost the installation DVDs. I have in my hard disk all installations files and all patches files.

Impossible. The first day WOTLK in shop in spain, many people write in spanish wow forum many problems to use the DVD, something was wrong when blizzard burns DVDs. In windows, many messages of data corrupted. Other people no problems in the installation. For me, the only possible installation method was copy all tome files, only one file every time, to hard disk, and then install. In these days, I am windows user only. For possible future problems, I copy all installation files in a private ftp server, in my house. Actually I no use windows. If I try to use the original DVD disk of WOTLK in Linux, I see only the DirectX files and the Installer.exe file. BUT ALL TOME FILES ARE MISSING [Shocked] If I open the DVD in some windows computer, I can see all the files. In the day I install wow under Linux, I use wine 1.0.0 for install WoW Classic and TBC, I copy all files in the hard disk and then install. No installation problems. BUT I cant use this version actually because WOTLK needs more recent version of wine.
Now I can see the missing files in the DVD. #ls /media/cdrom autorun.inf disc.ico Installer Tome 2.mpq Installer Tome 4.mpq Installer Tome.mpq DirectX Installer.exe Installer Tome 3.mpq Installer Tome 5.mpq Movies.mpq ie5 are installed using Winetricks wine 1.1.43, the more recent dev version of wine at this moment, are installed.
