--- Comment #1 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2008-06-07 16:50:40 --- Please attach terminal output. You may need to manually symlink to the device and/or set the device type to cd-rom in winecfg.
What copy protection is used?

marking abandoned.
please reopen if the problem still exists after retesting with Wine 1.1.10 and running 'detect drives' in winecfg to make sure that your cdrom is configured.

--- Comment #4 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
just to shed some light about this issue because I got the original media from someone ;-)
The game itself has no real copy-protection - just a simple CD check.
There is indeed a message stating "Please insert original ANNO 1602 CD!" when starting a mission with the disk correctly mounted with drive letter assigned.
The game installer writes a registry key 'CDROM_DIR' which is derived from the working directory where the installer executable was started from.
This is usually a path containing "Z:\" because most people don't bother to use 'wine <mapped-cdrom-drive>:\setup.exe' (including me).
The game reads the registry key 'CDROM_DIR' and parses the drive letter part out to do simple checks like:
* GetDriveTypeA() -> CDROM type * GetDiskFreeSpaceA() -> compares with hard-coded size (SectorsPerCluster*BytesPerSector*TotalNumberOfClusters) * GetVolumeInformationA() -> disk serial
Well, you get the idea ;-)
Export of relevant part of registry:
--- snip --- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ANNO1602] "CDROM_DIR"="Z:\run\media\focht\ANNO1602\" "INSTALL_DIR"="C:\Program Files\" "INSTALL_SIZE"="MAX" ... --- snip ---
You either fix the registry key manually or run the installer with real CDROM driver letter path.
Resolving as 'invalid' because this not a bug/Wine problem ;-)
