I'm trying to install WoW on Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit. I run the Crossover games installation for WoW and the initial version on the DVD installs fine (2.x something). It then sees that it needs updating and successfully downloads the 2.4 patch.
At the point that the 2.4 patch starts to try to install a blinking message appears telling me that it's waiting for files to close, and it never can move past that. I've looked on Google for this issue, and tried all the fixes people have posted over time for it (changing the windows emulated version, deleting .temp files, etc.), but it never resolves for me.
I just ran into this same problem going from 3.0.2 -- 3.0.3. My default bottle was CXHTML (which I think is the default bottle installed). I created a new bottle using the CXGames Configuration - Manage Bottle Tab. Created using the winxp template and set to default.
Wow started up, installed the update and all is well.
Hope this helps.
