wine users - Jun 2010 - Problems installing WoW on Fedora 13

Hi there.

I am not a Linux noob, but equally, I wouldn't say I'm an expert either;
I get by.

Recently built myself a new Fedora 13 box, running an AMD quad 955.  I chose
X64, which may have been my first BIG mistake, but I've stuck with that
decision.

I have installed Wine, and have the 32bit version working.

I play WoW on XP, but, would like to get it running under Wine.

The install I am using is the latest Burning Crusades install from Blizzard.

I kick off Wine to do the install I get the following, which I don't think
is anything too unusual:


Code:

[Peter at GoldWing ~]$ wine32 /media/TreasureChest_/World\ of\ Warcraft\
Installer/Installer.exe
fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT (3000):
STUB
fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_SEND/RECEIVE_TIMEOUT 3000
[Peter at GoldWing ~]$ fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option

At this point, I get a "Insufficient CPU Speed" error thrown by WOW, I
chose Install Anyway.

First of all, you didn't make any mistake picking x64.

Second, which version of wine are you running? (output of wine --version).

1. if it's wine-1.0.1 or so, upgrade. There are download instructions here:
http://winehq.org/download
2. if it's a more recent version of wine (1.2-rcX), use winetricks
(http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks) to reinstall gecko : $ winetricks gecko

Thanks Addys.

Using winetricks to reinstall gecko seems to have done the trick.

The jury is still out on the x64.   8)
