Holden57:
You can do the following to find your CD/DVD:
Open Terminal from Applications -> Utilities.
[code]
cd /Volumes
ls
{this gives a list of current devices, most CDs are now named.}
cd <name of cd here>
ls
{list of files on cd. Look for autorun.exe or startup.exe. If no
present, post a list of the files found on this forum}
wine startup.exe > $HOME/Desktop/<name of program here>.log 2>&1
This will startup and run the installation program.
Winecfg is usually very good at detecting your DVD drive and making it
the D: Drive for wine. However, NEVER install a program from within
wine using the following annotation:
wine 'D:\<name of installer>
if you are unable to install it using WineHelper or by double clicking
on the .exe file as shown in Finder.
