Alternatively, you could select drive D or such if it's already there and change the path to your usual CD-ROM drive's path. Then click OK and run your application from the actual CD or DVD.

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.
