I'm having trouble installing a program from the CDROM / DVD drive. I've checked to see that the mapping of the d: drive is correctly pointing to the right place - it is:

~/.wine/dosdevices$ ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cosmo cosmo 10 2009-10-04 18:46 c: -> ../drive_c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cosmo cosmo 13 2010-08-12 20:19 d: -> /media/cdrom0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cosmo cosmo  8 2010-07-25 19:12 d:: -> /dev/sr0


I run the install program, it runs from the DVD as expected: ~/.wine/dosdevices$ wine start d:\Komplete\ 6\ Setup\ PC.exe


However, after answering the setup questions (storage directories, etc - I don't change anything, I just accept the defaults), once it gets to the point of actually installing the software, a pop-up alert says "Disk Not Found", "Please insert Komplete 6". The disk it is asking for is the same one I've run the installation program from, so I don't understand why it can't see those files. It's obviously seeing the DVD since it's running the installation program from it...

Any ideas??
Think about how you would install this in Windows:

D:
cd "Komplete 6 Setup PC.exe

This translates to:

[code]

cd /media/cdrom0

wine "Komplete 6 Setup PC.exe"

[/code]

Wine will take care of the translation of the cd location for the program.

Setup programs MUST be run from the directory from which the installation is to take place.

Thanks much for any help...Cosmo
