I know this might seem like a repeat question, but I've literally looked over 100 threads on how to get SC2 to work on ubuntu 12.04 through wine and none have worked.
I downloaded wine new today, and inserted my purchased SC2 disk.
When I try to open the installer (installer.exe) with wine, an error appear saying:
"No installer data could be found. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support."
I searched for solutions to mediate this issue and was directed to the following source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1435314 .
I followed directions through until I got to
ls
I tried various combinations of (ls installer.exe, ls'/home/rothic/Desktop/Installer.exe, etc.)
All come back with "no such file or directory".
Im not sure what to do, the next step would be to replace the "starcraft_installer" with the starcraft installer file, which Im not sure how to do (very new to linux).
I tried WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_starcraft/ wine starcraft_installer
and it says "wine: cannot find L"C:\windows\system32\starcraft_installer.exe"
despite it being on the desktop as advised.
Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Well, you skipped the important part in those instructions: "navigate to where you put the starcraft installer, and..."
When you put in a CD, Ubuntu mounts it in a sub-directory of
/media/
, so first you need to navigate there:the last command will print a list of directories which correspond to your mounted devices. Identify which one correspond to you CD (
cdrom
would be my guess), thenthen, if you see
starcraft_installer.exe
in the output, you can proceed with the instructions.
