Software Preferences Error

[smithveg]

Ok, i did see the installed file in .wine/drive_c/program files/warcraft III

Basically, i have the core application is located in hd5(drive). While, the
one i had installed just a few moments ago. Is just a path.
In windows xp(last time), it ask me the application path, when i install it.
In ubuntu(current), it never as me this questions.

So, i don't think my application can run in this situation.
