I've actually seen the old thread but my problem appeared to be different, I applied the patch and recompiled with no success (I believe I did it appropriately, it manually requested the filenames).  Here is the requested bt output:

I didn't get the message:
0x408ba2e0 (DIALOG_CreateIndirect+0x300 [dialog.c:636] in USER32.DLL): 
so I assumed my problem might be different.

I haven't been able to get the blizzard updater to run on recent 
versions of wine (I've downloaded from CVS to make sure there isn't a 
fix).  I'm not sure if this is something wrong with my setup or a bug 
with wine (i recently reinstalled my system with Fedora Core 2 and am 
no-longer running the same version of wine).
        
More likely a change in Wine caused the app to fail.
      
AFAICS this case may be related to already known issue [1].

The bug is still present in the CVS.  If it's the same bug I urge to
reverse this patch [2] (if compiling by yourself) or just use Wine version
prior to the date "2004/04/19 23:02:35".  For me reversing [2] patch
worked out fine.

Does the attached patch work for you?
