[Wine]Installation issue?

[Walt Ogburn]

Hi David,

I think you want d: to point to the mount point, not the device.  For me
(SuSE 9.2), this means d: = /media/cdrecorder, but for you it might be
/mnt/cdrom or something else.

You could also try giving Wine the Unix path to the file, like
wine /media/cdrecorder/SETUP.EXE.

Good luck,
- Walter
