After the 2nd window (named: BattleNet - Wine desktop) the Lutris window shows the spinning wheel with this in the text field:

lutris-wrapper: /home/glenadel/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-GE-Proton7-43-x86_64/bin/wine Started initial process 5551 from /home/glenadel/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-GE-Proton7-43-x86_64/bin/wine /home/glenadel/Games/battlenet/drive_c/windows/explorer.exe /desktop=BattleNet,1024x780 /home/glenadel/Downloads/Battle.net-Setup.exe Start monitoring process.

I had this same problem and finally found a workaround for it. Hopefully this issue is fixed soon but for now try this:

  1. Download the battle.net installer .exe file manually from Blizzard's website.
  2. Start the installation normally through Lutris.
  3. When it asks you how you want to source your installer, point it to your .exe file you downloaded, (unsure if this step is needed but it's what I did).
  4. A blank window will appear with the aforementioned error appearing in the console. DON'T cancel the installation via Lutris, just click the X of the black window itself. The rest of the install will continue as normal. Wait until it "finishes".
  5. It will complain about install not being done right or something. Ignore this warning.
  6. Select Blizzard Battle.net in the list of "games". Click the "up arrow" next to the Wine icon. Choose "Run EXE inside Wine prefix".
  7. Choose your installer you downloaded again.
  8. This time the installation will work properly. Get to the end where it asks your region / login and close the installer.
  9. Restart Lutris or else it will not let you run the game and complain about it "not being installed". After re-opening Lutris, you can "Play" Battle.Net as normal. Log in and close the million tutorials.

Looks to me like something in the install script is being done in the wrong order but I'm not good at scripts to fix it. Was able to install + run WoW as normal.
