[Wine] Re: Watching a National Geographic cd in Ubuntu 12.04

[JLeite]

Greetings.
What do you mean with "Delete the wineprefix and start over"?
The key file to intall the cd is Instalar.exe.
If I double click on it I get a text box saying "File not found"
If I launh it in the terminal as a normal user, I get:
jleite at jleite1:/media/Antigo/CD1$ instalar.exe
instalar.exe: command not found

jleite at jleite1:/media/Antigo/CD1$ instalar
instalar: command not found

jleite at jleite1:/media/Antigo/CD1$ wine instalar.exe

wine: cannot find L"unix\\media\\Antigo\\CD1\\instalar.exe"

but if I launch it as root all goes well and everything is installed but the vbrun60sp6.exe and wmpcdcs8.exe.


When I try to run them as common user I get:

jleite at jleite1:/media/Antigo/CD1$ wmpcdcs8.exe

jleite at jleite1:/media/Antigo/CD1$ wmpcdcs8

when I do:
root at jleite1:/media/Antigo/CD1# wine wmpcdcs8.exe
I get a text box asking to install Windows Media player 6.4 and to run that setup again

I tried this and other ways and nothing seems to work.
Meanwhile,  I've installed the cd Intro bau comes a time, when I have to interact with the pc selecting something I get the message that the file msdxm.ocx doesn't exist.

Any ideas?
Best regards and I'm already thankful for all the attention you've dedicated to this issue.
