How do I install StarCraft 1.18 on Wine with 64-bit Linux?

How do I install StarCraft 1.18 on Wine with 64-bit Linux? - Free stock photo of alcohol, anniversary, bar

I'm trying to install the free StarCraft 1.8 on Linux using Wine.

When I try to run the installer I receive a message:

".../StarCraft-Setup.exe" not supported on this system

Do I need to install the 32-bit version of Wine for it to run?


Update, after installing Wine 32 bit I can run it, but now I have this error message:

00e1:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk "ClientSdk.dll" failed to initialize, aborting

When in doubt, visit WineHQ's AppDB. It's got all sorts of useful information about running programs under Wine. Support for Starcraft 1.18+ is currently listed as "garbage" (doesn't run), but the rating history suggests that if you can get a copy of Wine 3.15, it should work without trouble.
