Installing Burning Crusade with Wine

I dont know what to do! Ive tried every source and no one can give me an answer. Ive correctly installed World of Warcraft with the latest version of Wine. But when i try to install my Burning Crusade expansion DVD i cant find an Installer.exe file in the directory I cant figure out how to install it could someone give me a tutorial on how to install it? or possibly a tutorial on how to install the InstallWoW.exe file from blizzard for downloading and installing the game from their website. The Distributor im using is Mepis version 7.

I've installed wow from their website, its fairly straightforward. What you need to do is download the executable and save it somewhere in the .wine folder under drive_c, then using the terminal go to the directory you downloaded to using cd command and use wine command to run exe, you will probably need to download a newer version of wine, since there are problems with older versions of wine when installing this game

no idea on the error, but I have comcast internet, it took a while for me to install, keep in mind you are downloading 6-8 gb of data, last time I did an internet install, about a month or two ago, it took 4-6 hours, it depends on your location and the blizzard download location

this is a bug in wine that is fixed in newer versions, and it surprises me to exist in crossover since I believe it is just the commercial version of wine, but I could be wrong
