Continuing with steps E and F, I am still having trouble launching with "LotroLauncher.exe". What it seems to do when clicked on is briefly open and activate the Kekka application, which is a file decompression utility (!). Baffling...
So, trying again to launch the game via the old lotro client, the same result as reported earlier: after choosing a world, you get the text message "getting in line to connect" flashing by, then nothing.
Here btw is the principal Terminal feedback for the installation of wine-stable:
