Summary: Wine doesn't install programs from multiple floppies Product: Wine Version: 1.0.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: ntdll AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: scott@open-vote.org
From launchpad: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/184932
I would like an automatic umount/remount of the floppy drive to install windows programs from multiple floppies.
I installed Quicken 4 in wine. The installation stopped with the 2nd floppy. The Quicken installer was looking for the 2nd floppy but got stuck with the reference from the first one.
To bypass the bug, I launched a terminal, typed " umount /media/floppy ; mount /media/floppy " between each floppy exchange and then press enter in wine to continue the process.
Quicken uses labels on floppies to maintain the installation order.

--- Comment #2 from Scott Ritchie scott@open-vote.org 2009-04-30 21:23:21 --- I may have misunderstood the reporter. I thought this was a case of a program waiting to detect when a new floppy is inserted and then working automatically when it is; that would imply it's telling the operating system something different from just "read the file on disk". If that were the case then in theory Wine could respect that system call

Windows doesn't have such a notification. See e.g. Raymond Chen: http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2009/04/02/9528175.aspx
Whether or not you have to umount/mount the floppy is up to the distribution, and unrelated to the whether notification occurs when a floppy change happens.
Even if such a notification existed in the distribution, there's no corresponding notification you could send in Wine that would change the Windows program's behavior, as there's no Windows signal that a floppy change has in fact occurred.
