Warcraft-III-Setup.exe fails with Bnet Desktop App

[AtreusX]

Working with 32 bit wine install, I install battle.net app and then run the classic game installer for Warcraft III (only newer games are directly installable in the app, older games you use an installer). Installer downloads game but fails when asking for CD Key.

Steps:

1. Download and install battle.net desktop app.
2. Download and run Warcraft-III-Setup.exe
3. After it downloads which takes awhile run
   wine .wine32/drive_c/Program\ Files/Warcraft\ III/Warcraft\ III\ Launcher.exe

(Make sure bnet app is running or it won't work e.g. wine .wine32/drive_c/Program\ Files/Battle.net/Battle.net\ Launcher.exe)

iirc from IRC it seems that dotnet libs interfiere with battle.net runtime, if so they probably needs to be disabled per wineapp.

@AtreusX Can you verify if BattleNet works without dotnet? (my installer in winetricks requires only vcrun2012 on my system)
