I have tried everything and I cannot run an exe file using wine game.exe 
in /mnt/cdrom.

My /dev/cdrom is

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Aug 11  2006 /dev/cdrom -> hdb

ls -la /dev/hdb

brwxrwx--x 1 root cdrom 3, 64 Aug 11  2006 /dev/hdb

I can read the cd when i do ls -la /mnt/cdrom

I am using wine 0.9.8 and gentoo linux

Contents of the cd is:

dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root      2048 Nov  4  2000 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root      4096 Jun  6 06:09 ..
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root      2048 Nov  4  2000 REDIST
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root   2345665 Nov  1  2000 SD_Install.exe

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root     14748 Nov  2  2000 readme.txt
