Where do I put WoW?

If I were to bring WoW over onto my Ubuntu box via an external harddrive from a Windows box, in what directory should I place the folders and files? Does it make a difference, or will Wine automatically startup when I run WoW?

In your home folder there's a hidden folder called .wine.

/home/you/.wine/drive_c/ is your fake windows computer. From there you put the files wherever they would go in windows.

Generally when you work with wine you want to reinstall though, by just running the installation .exe file like you would in windows.

Well, fortunately with World of Warcraft, you can just migrate over your installed directory anywhere and it will run in place, no reinstall necessary. Just put it anywhere and run wine Wow.exe.

Really? Wow, that's pretty impressive.

Yeah WoW sticks nothing in the registry so copying it is a valid installation method. Might have something to do with WoW having a Mac version since most of the code is shared and Macs don't have registries either.
