Bug ID: 54238
           Summary: Wine can't map file with exec priv on real CDROM
           Product: Wine
           Version: 8.0-rc2
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]

      Distribution: ---

During Fresh Minder installation, wine attempts to map a file with EXEC
privilege into memory, causing an icon to fail to load. This can be solved by
the user by remounting the cdrom with exec privilege, but Wine should handle
this on its own (for instance by making an internal copy of the file in a place
where EXEC is possible).

It's questionable to add a workaround to bypass system policy. If the CDROM is
mounted noexec, then failing to exec from it is arguably the correct behavior.

Just like in so many cases, Wine needs better error reporting here... An
average user won't see this little console message and won't know what to do.
I know Wine probably isn't meant for the average person, but even I would
appreciate a little dialog (like the one you get if gecko is missing) with
either a button to fix this issue automatically or a command to execute to fix
it.
I know this is falling into off-topic, so I am stopping right here :-)
