Wizard101 not working on WINE

Asked by Jay Pritchett

I have downloaded WINE and WIZARD101. And installed both, no problems on either. But when I try to open WIZARD101 all it says is "Starting WIZARD101" then it doesn't open at all. How can I install it just using WINE. I don't want to have to download Crossover.

that is an indication that the software is one of those that doesn't work under wine. does that program require other pieces of software for it to work? was it written in .net?

It seems it should work just fine? What's that about .net?

The WineHQ page says it runs practically perfect: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19839
The page also includes a little guide on how to install and optimise Wizard101 in Linux.

Can you help with this problem?
