I just had this problem, but I think that I've figured out what they problem 
is,generically speaking. Look at the D drive winecfg and I suspect that you'll 
find it is not set to anything that actually would be the cdrom, like a cdrom 
link or somesuch. On my computer it was set to /media/xmms_audio_cd. That 
certainly isn't where the Framemaker CD is.

By setting the D drive to /media/ADOBE_FRAMEMAKER, I was able to install 
Framemaker without a hitch. Now, this isn't a great solution because it means 
that you have to change the D drive's target every time that you want to run a 
different CD in wine, but it WILL work as far as I can tell. Certainly it 
worked for me.

Incidently, when I tried to install Framemaker under SUSE 10.0, there was no 
problem, but I updatedto SUSE 10.1 the other day and when I attempted to 
install Framemaker this time, I got the error described in this bug report.

I think that in SUSE 10.0 there were cdrom and dvdram folders or links in the 
media directory which wine could direct itself towards. I'd verify that, but 
I'm running SUSE 10.1 now. In 10.1, there does not appear to be any such links 
or folders. As always, there are links to the appropriate block devices 
in /dev, but I can't target them in winecfg, so I don't know how you'd get 
wine to be able to see them.

In the end, I'm not sure whether there is anything that wine can do to fix the 
problem, since it appears to me to be a problem outside of its control. I 
don't know which distribution that you're using, but I'd guess that it has the 
same problem that SUSE 10.1 appears to have where there's no folder or link 
in /media for wine to target as the cdrom that will not change when you change 
cd's.
