Hi,

I don't know what's going on with the current WineX, I can't get it to
work.  I got an old version that I used with the beta back in March to
work.  Getting the latest WineX to work seems to be much harder than Wine.

Try my How To under "Warcraft III" in the application db found at
http://appdb.codeweavers.com  except remember this before running
install.exe: copy a native msvcrt.dll into your wine installation. 
Example destination location:  ~/c/windows/system
If you don't copy that in install.exe will fail like people have been
complaining about giving this error message:
fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler
(0x40481e98,0x405959b0,0x40481b20,0x040481ab0):stub?...(repeated)

Luckily, people seem to be trying to fix this kind of problem for wine so
in the future, you won't need this native dll.

I can't believe I missed this part.  I thought it wasn't needed because I
cleaned out my wine install setting up War3 retail to find out the exact
steps.  I copied this dll to my home directory thinking it was outside the
windows/system path, and would purposely not load... come to find today...
I see this F:/msvcrt.dll in some logs!!! doh it was loading it all along. 
I tried running install.exe without, and discovered what people been
talking about.

I hope people can get running now, because wine War3 does work very well. 
 =)
