I downloaded Diablo II from the Blizzard Store a few weeks ago to use on my laptop that I have Ubuntu installed on. I attempted to install Diablo II with WINE (Windows compatibility for Linux) and I noticed that I could not get past the license agreement. The Accept button was grayed out and would not activate. I googled around, checked UbuntuForums.org, and could not find an answer to the problem. So I gave up and used an XP vm for awhile, which worked fine until I screwed up my XP vm a couple of days ago.

So I tried installing Diablo II with WINE again, and I don’t remember what I saw that tipped me off, but I realized that the License Agreement was trying to use Internet Explorer to render the form…but in WINE, the Mozilla Gecko engine was used instead. So I found some instructions on installing IE6 with WINE (If I can find the page again, I’ll post it) and what do you know, after I did that, Diablo II installed just fine.

Note, this only seems to affect the installers downloaded from the Blizzard Store.
