    playonlinux WOW installation problem

    Hello.

    I have installed playonlinux and tried to install world of warcraft Via this.
    I have done normal things to get it installed and it worked! playonlinux wizard was installing wow, when it downloaded completly (15 hours :/ ) i closed battle.net but playonlinux wizard is still active and it says:
    """"Please wait while World of Warcraft is installed...""""
    I have a button named: Install is done.
    So, my wow downloaded completly, let's click it. And nothing. There is a loop. I can click cancel button, beacuse next is blocked and Install is done. when i click it i have info window:

    ,,Be careful! this will kill install process. If it is not finished, you will have to reinstall World of Warcraft"
    Buttons No, or Yes. Clicked yes.
    And now back to playonlinux wizard window when it says:
    """"Please wait while World of Warcraft is installed...""""

    Any suggestions what can i do?

    I've never used WOW or PlayonLinux but my understanding is that PlayonLinux uses wine. You might take a look at the official Ubuntu documentation and the other link below explaining installing it.

    Thanks for those links!
    Loving Ubuntu that's why i care about my only game, won't switch back to Win!
    I'll try installing via official CD, never done it..

    1st time i installed wow using this link u gave from webupd8.org but performance was terrible.
    I asked one linux player in guild about his performance, he said it was great but he uses playonlinux instead of just only solo wine.

    Used WOD CD. Battle.net has been installed but that's it. Nothing more. I clicked installation completed and nothing, just nothing. Still buffering with info that it is being installed...
