I know this might seem like a repeat question, but I've literally looked over 100 threads on how to get SC2 to work on ubuntu 12.04 through wine and none have worked.

I downloaded wine new today, and inserted my purchased SC2 disk.

When I try to open the installer (installer.exe) with wine, an error appear saying:

"No installer data could be found. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support."

I searched for solutions to mediate this issue and was directed to the following source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1435314 .

I followed directions through until I got to

    ls

I tried various combinations of (ls installer.exe, ls'/home/rothic/Desktop/Installer.exe, etc.)

All come back with "no such file or directory".

Im not sure what to do, the next step would be to replace the "starcraft_installer" with the starcraft installer file, which Im not sure how to do (very new to linux).

I tried WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_starcraft/ wine starcraft_installer

and it says "wine: cannot find L"C:\windows\system32\starcraft_installer.exe"

despite it being on the desktop as advised.

Any suggestions on where to go from here?
