[MAC OS] Installation guide and one (however little) problem

Because i've had some problems with install and fixed them by trying all options, wanted to post a little guide here.
Tested on Mac Os Lion 10.7.1 and CrossOver Games 10.1.2.

  1. Go to Configure -> Manage Bottles, click "+" add new win98 bottle called whatever you want to.
  2. Go to Applications tab, click on install.
  3. Best is to use DK2 install version 1.7 (already patched). For me patch 1.3->1.5 is crashing CrossOver Games.
  4. Install setup.exe to the bottle.
  5. In the same convention install directX 8.1.
  6. To move mouse freely go to Programs -> Run Command and set "HKCU/Software/Wine/DirectInput, string value "MouseWarpOverride", to "disable"." There is high probability you will have to add DirectInput folder and MouseWarpOverride string. (source -> Tips & Tricks)
  7. Run game, go to settings, lower mouse speed to minimum. Enjoy the game ^^

There is however one problem with the game currently. When you move your mouse it happens sometimes that you can't go completly to bottom/right side of screen (cursor stops in about 1/10 of screen before there is actual end of game screen). I don't know how to fix it yet. Does anybody has any idea to help please..?

Finally sorry for some grammar mistakes, i'm not native english speaker. Hope it can help someone ^^.

//edit: removed disclaimer and link.

Please delete your download link to the full version of Dungeon Keeper 2. First, this is not considered abandonware because the rights to the IP is still owned by Electronic Arts. Second, Dungeon Keeper 2 is sold by GOG for the low, low price of $5.99 here: http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/dungeon_keeper_2

Third, and while I don't want to go into a lengthy debate here, the very definition of "abandonware" is built upon a very shaky and very morally and legally uncertain premise. If one wants to adhere to the general letter of the law (which Codeweavers does on these forums in that they wish to avoid discussion of DRM-bypassing measures like no-cd craks), the notion of "abandonware" is piracy.
