When I attempt to install Starcraft 2 I receive the following message: "Sorry, the installer was unable to start up. No installer data could be found. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support." OS: Ubuntu 10.04.1 (garnered from "cat /etc/issue") Wine Version: 1.3.11 Starcraft 2: Retail, CD. I let the automated systems take care of the update for Ubuntu and the installation of Wine. I checked on the SC2 page of Wine HQ and the stuff there was a bit beyond me, it didn't have Ubuntu newbie instructions. :P Any help you can give would be great, and if you need any further information I'd be happy to provide.
try the following (open a terminal and type in the following lines. after each line, press enter and wait until everything is done): sudo mount -o remount,uid=1000,gid=1000,unhide,umask=0000 /dev/sr0 sudo apt-get install winetricks winetricks fontfix fontsmooth-rgb allfonts gecko gdiplus d3dx9 win7 if you have winetricks already installed, you can ignore the second command. then try and start the installer. if this doesn't work, copy the entire DVD to your harddisk and then start the installer from your harddisk. (found in the appDB entry for SC II) I haven't tried it but I hope it will work.
