Hello Bruno

This is certainly not a real or image mounted CD. Besides that wine 1.4 was
used.

well, 'fuseiso -p' can be used to quickly mount an ISO anywhere in the
filesystem, without the need to maintain the mount point manually.

Something like this:

--- snip ---
$ fuseiso -p ~/Downloads/my_pirated_aoe.iso ~/Age_of_Empires_iso
$ $(cd ~/Age_of_Empires_iso && wine ./aoesetup.exe)
$ fusermount -u ~/Age_of_Empires_iso
--- snip ---

other than that your statement is correct.

* outdated, no longer supported Wine version used
* PlayOnLinux = hacked Wine = unsupported
* potential use of pirated software (ISO image)

Tidbit: the game installs fine with Wine 1.7.x and likely did with Wine 1.6
(which is also dated and should not be used).

Regards
