[SOLVED] Installing WoW (CD Mount Issue)

[Bonzzai]

I've been trying to figure out how to install World of Warcraft on my computer. I've downloaded Wine, but when copying over the files to my harddrive, I noticed there's not a 'install.exe'. Only a Mac folder, and 'Installer Tome 1.mpq', all the way to six or so. I've read that I should type in the following command to 'unhide' the file.

 sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0/

Unfortunately, I get this error.

 mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist

I've tried simply going into the CD directory and pressing ctrl+h to 'unhide', but the install.exe file does not show up.

did you have windows before?

did you have windows before?

Quite a while ago, yes. Back in January, I believe.

[hyper_ch]

so you have no running windows anymore?

Easiest way (at least was for me) was to install wow in windows (maybe even in a virtual machine) and then just copy the whole WoW folder over to linux using this guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft (alternative 1)

Unfortunately I don't have Windows installed on the machine at all, sorry. >.<
I would re-install it, I just don't have a disc, hehe.

Edit

I might just download the entire game. That should work, right? I'd just rather use the DVD since I have it in front of me, hahah.

Wait, are you trying to install WoW through an ISO file?

No, I'm following this guide. The 'installer.exe' file doesn't show up for me, so I tried following the command I typed earlier. My main problem is I don't know what to type for my CDrom drive :S

Oh ok, so you're installing from a DVD. Well, why don't you first try to mount the DVD and if the directory to the WoW installer shows up, then search for Installer.exe and go to your terminal and type:
wine "/location/of/Installer.exe" (without quotation marks). See if that works.

[Bonzzai]

I can actually install from the DVD? I was getting the impression I needed to copy my files to a folder on my harddrive.

P.S. - This is all I see without doing a search in the folder for 'install'. When I do that, two other locked files show up. 'InstallerLauncher.pef' and 'InstallerLauncher.rsrc'.

Now that you know where your WoW DVD installer directory is, try this in the terminal:

sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,unhide /dev/cdrom /media/WoW DVD/

But just wondering: is this DVD for installing WoW on a Mac?
