try using:

winex "Diablo II.exe"

with double quotes or something like:

winex "Diablo II.exe" -- "Diablo II.exe"

You could just rename it to DiabloII.exe...

Still doesn't work. I keep getting the same error msg.

I did what you said Delta and now I think it might work.

How long does it take to build the Font metrics? Its been saying that for a while now. I have a 550 mhz with 512 megs of ram.

Thanks for the help.

Quite a while, depending on how many fonts you have installed. (Though I though the stock winex config only enabled one font or something... anyway.)

Oh ok, well I dont remember installing any other fonts. Hopefully it will finish soon.

Do you know of a way to check to see if its actually doing something usefull? Its showing 99% of my cpu.

Thanks

It probably died if it's still running. On my box, it generally takes under a minute, with about 60 fonts.

well that sucks, its been running for about 20 minutes at 99%, still is at 99%. Dont know how many fonts I have though. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

winex is broken?

Try eliminating all but one or two fonts. From the FAQ on the TransGaming site:

ok, im a newbie, and confused as hell right now. I keep seeing these messages about .transgaming and that folder, but all winex complained about was .wine. I emerged winex. Could that be the problem. Im so confused about all this, I havent been able to find any real good documentation about this. Does anyone have any know of any good documentation? I used mainly www.winehq.,com sites.

Thanks

Okay, I've emerged winex20020807 and installed Diablo II. The install went smoothly. But now I cant run the game. When I <winex "Diablo II.exe"> I get nothing. Just a new command line. I've tried renaming the .exe to diablo2.exe, I've tried <winex /mnt/cdrom/playd2.exe> with the same effect. I've turned on all debugging, but get no error messages. Anyone have some idea?

so you can't play multiplayer with it? :/

Oh yes, you can. I played LOD in BNET long time, it works perfectly. You just need a script that exchanges your cracked .exe and the original one just after the game is started, look at holarse.net for detailed information.

If I use winex to start the no-cd executable that I got from gamecopyworld for the 1.09D update, lod.exe, I get the screen popping up saying "Choose single player or multiplayer", but after my selection, I get the error "Cant execute game_crk.exe in current Dir". The program's output is:

/usr/lib/winex/bin/wine: could not load library 'C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Game_crk.exe.so' as Winelib application: C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Game_crk.exe.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directo

What's the problem here?

Never mind - I found the answer to my own problem. Start lod.exe, choose the battlenet option, let it not work, then, in another terminal, copy the Game_crk.exe that was created but would be removed if I were to cancel the lod.exe program. Then let lod.exe die, restore the Game_crk.exe, and run that with winex.
