Think about how you would install this in Windows:

D:
cd "Komplete 6 Setup PC.exe

This translates to:

[code]

cd /media/cdrom0

wine "Komplete 6 Setup PC.exe"

[/code]

Wine will take care of the translation of the cd location for the program.

Setup programs MUST be run from the directory from which the 
installation is to take place.
