--- Comment #5 from Jeremy Visser jeremy.visser@gmail.com 2008-12-16 05:31:30 --- I had this problem too when trying to run the setup from a loop-mounted ISO. I mounted the ISO under /tmp/mafia, and attempted to run the setup from there. No dice.
So I ran winecfg, went to the drives tab, added a CD-ROM on drive D: which pointed to /tmp/mafia. So I opened winefile and started D:\MafiaLauncher.exe, clicked the Install icon, and it installed that way.
So this can be worked around by running it while pretending it's a CD.
