You don't usually *have* to trick WINE into autorunning the CDROM. I've 
never employed an autorun senerio with WINE---ever. I don't see the point.

I also never have seen a program that installs from CDROM that doesn't 
start its actual installation by anything other then a simple executable 
file. Look it the mount directory for .exe or .msi files. If the CDROM 
does support autorun do something like

mount_dir> cat autorun.inf

That will tell you the program that autorun launches. There isn't 
anything "special" about CDROM autorun. You can just as easily start the 
installer yourself.

For example, nine out of ten CDROMs will install with this command:

mount_dir> wine setup.exe

done
