I was testing with Windows XP.

I think the problem is caused by filenames which with a dot being treated
differently by the Windows CD-ROM (ISO 9660) filesystem compared to the Linux
one.

The Windows ISO 9660 filesystem removes trailing dots from filenames when you
get a directory listing. The Linux ISO 9660 code doesn't. So Wine needs to be
able to handle that.

With MS Wine Guide, it tries to open a file named "sherry" say. If that file
doesn't exist, Wine should try opening "sherry." instead. Doing that should fix
this issue. I guess the Windows ISO 9660 code must be doing something like that
already? (Or perhaps it strips trailing dots from names when reading the
directory, so opening "sherry" in Windows would automatically open "sherry.".)
