Starcraft + Winex

[alec]

Howdy all,

I'm trying to get Starcraft installed with Winex (the latest Gentoo package, 20020511). I run 'winex install.exe' from my /mnt/cdrom, and everything appears to work fine - screen pops up, usual errors in the console, but nothing to be worried about, just some griping about fonts and stuff. I select 'Install Starcraft', enter my name and CD-Key, and hit install. It begins copying the files over to my hard drive - I know it actually does this because I can quick Ctr-Alt-F2 out to a terminal and see the files it has copied. However, when it gets to a certain point almost competely through the install, trying to copy a scenario map, it pops up a message that simply says "Aborted", erases all the files it has installed, and waits for me to click OK before dumping me back to the autorun screen.

I can't find anything on Transgaming's site about this happening, and can't post to their forums because I have not subscribed yet. Has anyone had this problem, and can they help me fix this? Is it simply a copy protection error?

Alternatively, what lines would I use in my /etc/fstab to autoload a FAT32 partition that was writable be me the user? I have not been able to decypher any of TFM to do this - would it help?

The info for the drive in my config:

Check TFM of mount (man mount) then search for fat option you can read about uid=value,gid=value,umask=660 or similar add this in /etc/fstab

Hrmm.. I didn't modify my /etc/fstab to run Starcraft in linux. I just ran the winex /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe and it insalled fine.

WineX 2.01 from Transgaming works fine on battle.net with StarCraft 1.09b, you see enough of the login screen to type your username/password and you will be able to create join games no problem, the graphics is a bit odd up until you create or join a game.

It's working, if nothing else.
