Two thoughts which may or may not apply to your situation.

1)  Double-check the CD for damage.  (Hey, I have kids; it's my first
thought.)

2) If you installed the program from inside windows, from the 'D' drive,
you might need to make sure that your cd-rom drive is listed as drive 'D'
in the wine config.  If your wine config lists the drive as a different
drive letter, the program might not be able to find it.
