Thanks to everyone who contributed. After collaborating with the Amebis support we did come to a solution that worked. It actually had to do with an internal install configuration that demanded the install file to be under a mapped drive. So what definately worked for me was using your suggestion to run from command line from the cd-rom directly. By the way, as my locale is en_UK and this si a Slovene program some letters were not showing up directly so I had to run it in the correct locale: Code: export LANG=sl_SI.utf8 && wine /media/ASAPS/zagon.exe To make the mapping thing work properly you need to go into the Wine configuration - the Drives tab and click Autodetect, even if it looks like it is correctly mapping the cd-rom drive - IT DIDN'T. Only after doing that the install worked.
