cant install battle net

[ChiefCrowdControl]

Somehow cant install Battle.net-Setup.exe into the bottle. Tried several times with official exe file

The black Battle.net install window pops up but stays empty. Then after a while install says failed. Something went wrong. Installer run but battle.net wasnt found afterwards.

M4 Macbook Air, Tahoe 26.4.1

Cheers.

Fixed in v0.2.2, just published: https://github.com/MichaelLod/D4Mac/releases/tag/v0.2.2

Root cause was that the Battle.net installer wasn't getting the Wine env vars (specifically `WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY=1`) that its CEF/Chromium UI needs to render under Wine. Without that flag the renderer crashes silently inside libcef.dll → empty black window → "Something went wrong". v0.2.0 and v0.2.1 set the right env when launching Battle.net but not when installing it. v0.2.2 sets them in both paths.

To use it:

1. Reset the bottle first so the half-broken install state from your earlier attempts gets wiped — D4Mac → Settings → Advanced → Reset Bottle (or just delete `~/Library/Application Support/D4Mac/Bottle/`).
2. Update D4Mac: open it → "D4Mac" menu → "Check for Updates…" — Sparkle should pull v0.2.2. Or download a fresh DMG from the link above.
3. Click Install Battle.net again and pick `Battle.net-Setup.exe` — the installer UI should render normally this time.

Please reopen this issue if it still doesn't work and I'll dig in further. Thanks for the report — first one we've had on the public repo, much appreciated.
