install problem with wow lich king - Ubuntu Forums
I just got world of warcraft: wrath of the lich king and i can not figure out how to install it.
Every time i try this message pops up "No installer data can be found." WTF do i have to do to get it to work?
I've tried the wineHQ site and it didn't have any info on this problem.

Ok i found a comment on a site that sort of helps me.
The guy who posted the comment said that he was having a problem exactly like the one i am having.
He said this "If you insert the DVD and try 'wine Installer.exe' it will fail, claiming it cannot find the data.
You *must* mount the DVD with the 'unhide' option, and the Installer Tome files will then become accessable.
There may be more strangeness with file permissions as well.
Also, doing this will let you copy the files off the DVD onto your hard drive." OK so what is this "unhide option" and how do I go about doing what he said?

Ok WTH I know someone on here knows what an "unhide option" is and what I need to do to get lich king installed.
So why is it this post has been on here for over 24 hours and no one gives a sh!t?
Maybe I should go back to the cursed windows OS.
At least when I need help with windows the guy from India will attempt to help (fail miserably, but he will at least TRY).
So someone, anyone please post something constructive so that I at least know that somebody is listening and trying to be helpful.

The unhide option can be done by pressing ctrl+h
The lack of responses may be due to what it seems to be a lack of research.
Googling has been an amazing tool for me and getting applications to work.
You can literally type the question you have into google and something of relevance will pop up.
9 out of 10 times there will be something from the ubuntu forums that shows up.
Good luck.

Unfortunately ctrl+h didnt do anything helpful.
Thx for the try though.
I also tried downloading the lich king from the wow website and it downloaded an installer and i opened it.
It went to a menu and i clicked install.
It went to the End user agreement and hung up.
So i tried to close the window and i had to force quit it becuase it wouldnt respond.
Now i connot even get the installer to open any more.
I tried restarting my computer i redownloaded the installer and it still wont open again.
So im back to square one.
I messaged blizzard support and told them as much as i could with the 1000 character limit on the email and am now waiting for a reply that i dont expect to get till at least tomarrow since their office hours are 8am to 8pm pacific time.
But i dont really expect them to have an answer either since linux is still not considered a "mainstream" OS.
So I doubt they have any techs that know enough about ubuntu to help me.
So plz there must be someone that has installed lich king on ubuntu and if you know somwone who has please get them to come to these forums and reply to this post.
Thank you.

Sudo mount -o ro,unhide,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0/
Make sure you have unmounted the drive first with umount.
Then run this it should get ya going.

I actually had this problem I think with either BC or the original WoW CE DvD.
Regardless, it's format is a little odd and as mentioned earlier you need to use the unhide option.
You can either umount and remount using -o unhide, or do what I did and modify your /etc/fstab file to have the unhide option.
With wotlk, I also found I had to copy the entire DvD contents to my hard drive, then give myself the correct file permissions (rest the user/group) and then I could run the installer correctly.
What a pain, but it worked.
I used PCManFM to change the user/group, I'm pretty sure nautilus can do it as well - but you will likely have to load nautilus using sudo nautilus from the command line.
Then right click the folder, properties, etc.
I'd give you the command line to do it, but I don't really know what it is off hand.
Something like chmod -R username:username foldername - but that is just going from memory from what I read earlier this afternoon.
As mentioned above, I just did it from the GUI myself.
Alternatively, you can just download it from blizzard and it'd probably be less of a hassle.
