How to Install World Of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King DVD in Ultimate Linux 2.0

So you are feeling pretty good after learning how to install both World of Warcraft and Burning Crusades on Ultimate Linux. Then Blizzard goes and does it again!

Yes another expansion set, Wrath of the Lich King! On DVD no less.

This article will help you cross that line one more time by teaching you how to install World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King (a PC game) on the Ubuntu Ultimate Linux 2.0 Operating System.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer
• Ultimate Linux 2.0
• Wine Doors 0.1.2
• World of Warcraft
• WoW Burning Crusade
• WoW Wrath of the Lich King

1. 
    

   This installation has to happen a bit different then the original World of Warcraft and Burning Crusade installations. The way the DVD is setup is a bit more difficult to copy the files over.
   
   Go ahead and boot Ultimate Linux and we'll get started.

2. 
    

   Create a new folder on your desktop for the files I named mine wowlk
   
   Place the Wrath of the Lich King DVD in your DVD drive. When it comes up notice that you cannot just drag and drop all of the files off of the DVD into a new folder on your desktop or anywhere else for that matter. You will receive an error message that will inform you that the DirectX folder cannot be handled because of permissions.
   
   On top of all of this you will notice that there is only one directory (DirectX) and one file (Installer.exe) listed.

3. 
    

   Right click the Lich King icon on the desktop (which is the mounted DVD) and select properties. Now click on the volume tab. Make note of the Mount Point of the disk and then type the following command into the terminal window:
   
   sudo umount /media/cdrom0
   
   (if you have to change the /media/cdrom0 to the mount point name that you recorded from the volume tab of the Lich King Properties window.)
   
   the Lich King Icon on the desktop should disappear.

4. 
    

   From the terminal window now type this command:
   
   sudo mount -t udf -o ro,unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0/
   
   (the /dev/cdrom might be different on your system in which case you will have to learn the device name in order to input the mount point command.)
   
   You should now have an even more intertaining WoW Wrath of the Lich King icon on your desktop.

5. 
    

   Click on the Lich King icon on the desktop and notice that now you see all of the files on the DVD. Yippy Success!
   
   Even that this point you will still not be able to drag and drop copy the files you need to your directory.

6. 
    

   Back to the terminal window with ye! type the following command:
   
   cd /media/cdrom0
   
   (make sure that you use your mount point if its different from mine.)
   
   this command changes directory to the root of the DVD.

7. 
    

   Now type:
   
   sudo cp -R * ~/Desktop/wowlk
   
   (change the name of the directory if it is different then mine.)
   
   This will begin to copy over all of the files that you need. After it is done type the following:
   
   cd ~/Desktop/wowlk
   
   (again adding your directory name if different form mine.)
   
   Then type:
   
   wine Installer.exe
   
   This will being the installation wizard for Wrath of the Lich King. Follow through with the install. Run the program file the icon on the desktop and expect to wait a bit for the new updates to download and install. Enjoy!
