ok heres what I did: Inorder to mount the DVD with all the hidden files shown, I had to first unmount it. In a terminal type Code: sudo umount /media/cdrom0/ sudo mount /media/cdrom0/ -o unhide now you should get a window opening up on your desktop showing you all the hidden files on the DVD. Next I created a new folder on the desktop to which I want to place the files that I am going to copy from the DVD. The folders name is arbitrary 'wowinstall' your going to need to have root permissions to copy the files from the cd Code: sudo cp -r /media/cdrom0/* Desktop/wowinstall >From this point, you should be hearing your DVD drive spool up and then process your command. After a few minutes, all the files should be moved over. It took me two attempts to get all the files from the DVD over onto my HDD. Next the instructions Im following tell me to browse to the place where the installer is, in mycase its: Code: ~/Desktop/wowinstall/Installer.exe from which it tells me to change directory into that folder Code: cd Desktop/wowinstall user@computer:~/Desktop/wowinstall$ from here wine asks me to run Code: $wine Installer.exe which returns Code: wine: could not load L"<my path to installer>\\Installer.exe": Module not found Any suggestions?
