Ok, so I am trying to get warcraft 3 to work. It installed fine, but then when I went to play the game, it said it couldn't find the cd (even though it is in) I head over to the wineHQ site ( http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3126 ) and sure enough it says i will get the error unless I install: MS Visual C 2005 Runtimes with wine tricks.

So I download the winetricks, but I am looking down the list of programs you can install, and "MS Visual C 2005 Runtimes" is not on the list. There are some MS Visual C++ libraries, but those didn't help.

So either I am missing something that is obvious, or someone screwed up...

EDIT: I installed everything that started with Microsoft Visual and it still doesn't work.

EDIT: I just went and downloaded the file from the M$ site:

I then did "wine vcredist_x86.exe". The error still occurs. :(

It's vcrun2005 in winetricks.

Better off deleting the .wine directory and try the vcrun install again unless you have alot of stuff in Program Files,etc & in the registry...Reinstall warcraft after vcrun.

EDIT: It's actually vcrun2005 & vcrun2005sp1. Install one and then the Sp1 , not both together. You still may need to delete the /home/(user)/.wine directory if that doesn't do the trick and then do the vcrun installs.. No need to reinstall the program.

Yes it is vcrun2005 and dont forget to rename the movie folder after installation (also dont forget to add -opengl when launching the game.Example : wine asdasd.exe -opengl)
