I understand that you may not want to loose the game, but if you did something first, re-do it and get another stop-while-loading progress bar. I was intending to 'clean' your Wine install so that you could try to calmly think what you will do, forgive me for not stating that. I see you have already done that and have started to try and install it again. By the way, you could have said that the installer worked, I just re-read the thread and got that it must've worked. :) To try and provide a better support, I'd advise you to write a text where you report what/how you did anything (for example, when you said you had solved a problem, what did you do?) and why you did that. This might help understand why somethings worked or not and you would only benefit from that. You could also take a closer look at: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4055&sAllBugs again (I know you have already and it is pretty much the same as what your Ubuntu-guide said). By the way, I personally think you should use pastebin for such big chunks of text. Simply putting individual chunks on each topic doesn't lessen then ;)
