First you might consider actually reading what you type and correcting it. It's a tedious and awful task to join all the flips-flaps on your non-structured text.

That error is Ubuntu related -- they didn't configure it well. However, and, if you have Wine correctly installed (to check that, open a terminal and type winecfg, tell us what appears).

Then, run WoW from a terminal. If you don't know how to do it, check the Ubuntu forums, but it is probably in Applications. After opening a terminal, 'cd' to your cd, usually 'cd /media/cdrom'.

Now you are in the game's directory, execute the setup, this should work:

wine setup.exe (or whatever is its name).

Also, check the AppDB's page AND, once again, try to organize what your write better, it is really horrible to read such a jerky piece of information.
