The microsoft c libs worked perfectly when running under a newly-created prefix. Here is a quick and dirty how-to on creating a new prefix and linking to your World of Warcraft directory, assuming your current WoW install is in ~/.wine and the vcredist_x86.exe is saved in your home folder. Code: # mkdir ~/.wine-wow # export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-wow/ # winecfg [click OK] # cd .wine-wow/drive_c/Program\ Files # ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft World\ of\ Warcraft # wine vcredist_x86.exe [Click through the installer to install the C libs] # wine "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe" -opengl You would want to run your new WoW with the command: WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-wow/ wine "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe" -opengl Granted, this isn't the ideal solution, but hey, it works! 8)
