> This was my first installation of Wine. I never re-installed it on this computer. > Remember that the prefix and the install are separate items. The install is in you system with the other applications. Your prefix resides in your home folder at $HOME/.wine. If you never used wine on your user home folder you would have had a clean prefix up to the point that you started installing things in wine. The first time you run a windows app with wine it will create a prefix if one does not exist. If you tried any of the solutions for WC3 (some are very outdated) in appdb.winehq.org or installed other windows software you can have a prefix that prevents you from running WC3. I would start with a clean prefix. Run the install in the terminal and get a log. If the log is more than a few lines post the log on pastebin.com and link here. The instructions for getting a log are here: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log -- John M. Drescher
