I'm having trouble with Diablo 2 and wine

I'm running 64 bit Arch, but running bin32-wine-stable from the AUR so I don't think it's a 64 bit issue.  Just thought I'd throw that in there in case there's something I've overlooked.  I put the CD in and an autorun prompt pops up, when I click run it says "Cannot find the autorun program" so I say "okay" and try to run Install.exe and/or Setup.exe from /media/INSTALL (the cd) but I get a message in wine asking me to put the install cd in.  I've tried autodetect in winecfg, but that didn't seem to work; I get the same errors.  Thoughts and suggestions?

Many thanks,
--Wes

Try forcing the cd's to mount to /mnt/cdrom, via fstab or what have you. That seemed to work for me.

Second idea. Go to Battle.net, sign up for a Battle.net account if you dont already have one. Add your cdkey to your list of games. Then download the diablo game/client. When you install it will never ask for a cd since its a hard drive install directly from Blizzard fully up to date and patched.

No offense but the last time I tried this it took me 14 hours to download diablo.  It was frustrating to say the least, so I'd like to avoid it as much as possible.  I also tried this again, and wine is completely unresponsive to the download program.  I get the blue screen of my emulated desktop and nothing more.

Doing the fstab thing with /mnt/cdrom gets me the same error as before which leads me to believe that it's a wine problem and not a mounting problem, since I could access the cd before anyway, just not in wine.

Other ideas? I'm really desperate here, "I needs me some diablo 2" so to speak.

Where else did you look for information on this?

Re: I'm having trouble with Diablo 2 and wine

maybe you can try the newest wine version, the stable version is pretty old.

also, im pretty sure blizzard removed the cd-checks with a recent patch

This worked for me as well using fstab, you need the unhide option iirc.
in winecfg>drives>advanced make sure your cdrom is type cd-rom, mine was wrong.

Re: I'm having trouble with Diablo 2 and wine

Well I'm relatively certain that this is a bin32-wine problem since I'm running wine-stable on my netbook (running 32 bit Archlinux) and have installed Diablo 2 with AcetoneIso2 and a few iso's that I made.  I tried everything I could think of for my desktop, but it's not a big deal since I dual boot Windows on there anyway and I only really need Diablo for my netbook on my long trips to Texas.

Thanks for all of your help,
