i had wow working in a windows directory, i coped it to a linux partition and when i go to use the Repair.exe program htat comes with it, it starts, begins to do a repair then exits saying it does not have write permision for that directory, yet everything in that directory is still (a+rwx) since i copied it from a fat32 partition. also whatever files it had tried to use are now marked as (a-rwx, g+rwx). this happened with the wine that was shipped with debian squeeze (1.0.1) so i removed it and all associate wine librares, manualy installed the whole list of things needed when compiling from source on a debian machine and then compiled from source. notepad, and explorer seem to work fine, i have added any other tool, nor have i installed winetricks.
i haven't tried a install from dvds since the computer's dvd drive is now broken and i do not have cd-roms for said game. mounting a remote dvd player worked with limited sucess until the same problem was encountered again
