First you want to log in and open a shell as the user you want to run the app and create the proper links under .wine/dosdevices/ for any paths you want accessable to windows applications. You can either do this directly or use winecfg, however I prefer to do this directly because winecfg does not setup the cdrom the way I want it (as drive z: with the device link as z::).
Here is what I have in my dosdevices folder:
~/.wine/dosdevices $ pwd
/home/john/.wine/dosdevices
john@jmd1 ~/.wine/dosdevices $ ls -al
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 john users 168 Jul 29 22:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 john users 192 Aug 1 23:22 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 10 Jun 20 00:30 c: -> ../drive_c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 10 Jul 29 22:46 d: -> /home/john
lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 1 Jun 20 00:30 e: -> /
lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 8 Jul 24 23:55 z: -> /mnt/dvd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 8 Jul 24 23:55 z:: -> /dev/dvd
After you have this setup correctly to install you usually first mount the cdrom
mount /mnt/dvd
then run
wine z:setup
or
wine z:install
to run the installer from the cd.

Dear All
I have managed to install WINE onto my Mandriva 2006 Linux computer.
New entries appear in my menu. I have read much of the FAQ, How To, and
Documentation but unless I have missed something I cannot find any
section that deals with installing an application under WINE.
Do I have to remain logged in a terminal as root, or do I use one of the
new menu entries as a user?
What do I do ?
Any help appreciated
Stephen
