HTTP_HttpOpenRequestW Unable to escape string!

Post by xtatuk »

Ubuntu 9.04 64bits Desktop version.
kernel 2.6.31.15-generic.
nvidia 8600M graphic card, using nvidia binary 190.42 drivers.
wine version 1.1.33.
World of warcraft installer v1.4.0.250.

I have a fully working wow installation, but when trying to use 'installwow.exe' from wow webpage to download/install wow burning crusade expansion, dialog appears trying to download but after about 10-15 sec, get error message "Failed to download world of warcraft installer. Please close all applications and try again".

Here is the console output!

username@laptop:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft$ wine installwow.exe

err:wininet:HTTP_HttpOpenRequestW Unable to escape string!(L"/streaming-installer/wow/8874patch3.0.1-test2/enGB/Installer Tome 2.mpq.0") (-2147467261)

Above error message respawn about 5-7 times.

Have also tried use 'env WINEPREFIX="/home/username/.wine" wine installwow.exe'.

Please Help!
