Here's a change that enables you to install the free version from battle.net. If you are running ubuntu you will need to install ttf-mscorefonts-installer to get battle.net launcher to work properly.

I managed to install sc:bw 1.18.8 using wine 2.11 staging (32bit). It also seems to run flawlessly under this version (including battle.net). Maybe reflect this change in a new installscript.
 

After installation of Starcraft and Starcraft patch 1.15.2 (tried with and without the latter) the installation of `Starcraft BroadWar` fails with `wine` error `Internal errors - invalid paramters received`.
