Warcraft3 installation and Winex 3.1

[iDeJ]

hi,

okay i'm trying to install W3 with wineX 3.2

if i type wine /mnt/dvdrom/install.exe a message box appears and says
"Das Startmenue fuer das Programm konnte nicht gefunden werden"
(in English -> The startmenue for the programm could not be found)
and then it throws me back to the bash (no installer, nothink!)

then i followed the instructins from holarse.de for W3 and now this messegebox doesn't appear but wine hangs (just 100% CPU load)
the steps i did

-remove my old wine dir
-copy the vonf from /documents/examples
-compile regapi and make "./regapi setValue < ../../winedefault.reg"
-copied the files regsvr32.exe,msvcrt.dll,msvcrt20.dll and msvcrt40.dll to my
/windows/system directory from my WindowsXP Prof. Installation!

my wineX HD conf..

Drive C]
"Path" = "/home/idej/winec"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "Dos Drive"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive D]
"Path" = "/home/idej"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "My Home"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive E]
"Path" = "/tmp"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "tmp"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive F]
"Path" = "/mnt/dvdrom"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "DVD-Rom"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
"Device" = "/dev/cdroms/cdrom0"

[Drive G]
"Path" = "/mnt/brenner"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CD/R/RW-Rom"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
"Device" = "/dev/cdroms/cdrom1"

Do an ls from ~/fakec/windows/ and see if you actually do have a start menu.. or a windows directory / file structure in your fakec directory.

okay now it works (more or less)
you have to copy the files into windows/system32, not windows/system

but the game still won't work, i think i need a patch witch will overide the cd-copy protection (and matches my version)..

If you are using the cvs version of winex, you will be better off running it with wine, as the copy protection works in wine (so you can play on Battle.net). The only version of winex where it works is with the binary.

Warcraft 3:RoC runs great in opengl mode (-- -opengl) without the need for a no cd-patch when "Windows" = "win2k" in the [Version] section of the wine config file.
