Terminal output when running the Battle.net client installer in a clean Wine
prefix

When attempting to install Battle.net in a clean 64-bit prefix on a clean
install of Linux Mint 21.2 with all needed dependencies, I get the attached
terminal output and the progress hangs at 45%.

Also, I know the maintainers of Bugzilla encourage reporting only one problem
per bug. That being said, the exact same time this started happening, my
existing Wine prefix for Battle.net (and my Battle.net games) caused thread
crashes when opening Battle.net after installing yesterday's update. The update
was installed from within the Battle.net client by clicking the green icon to
install the update. Prior to this update released yesterday on November 30,
2023, Battle.net and the games were running flawlessly.

Because I can only add a single attachment, the Pastebin links below will give
more detail on the related issue of thread crashes described above:

Was able to save a crash report for the thread crash issue:
