Summary: C&C Gold: Installer error when installation media is mounted ISO Product: Wine Version: 0.9.44. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: nodisgod@yahoo.com
I am trying to use an ISO image of C&C 95 from an smbfs mount as installer media. I mounted the ISO image with the mount command on /mnt/isomnt, and I have configured Wine drives accordingly, adding an entry for the aforementioned mount point and setting drive type to CD-ROM. After setting Windows version to Windows 98, I set my current directory in Terminal to /mnt/isomnt, and run wine setup.exe. The InstallShield launcher loads, but after the installer finishes unpacking files, a dialog pops up: "Unable to locate necessary files. Please run Setup.exe from the CD-ROM disc." If the game is installed from an actual burned CD, there are absolutely no problems. The game can now be obtained for free from (http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/misc/c_c/GDI95.iso) and (http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/misc/c_c/NOD95.iso).

Probably a silly question, but all the drive mappings in winecfg I see refer to mount points. How should I get the ISO to work properly, if adding the mount point of the ISO doesn't do it?

--- Comment #4 from James Hawkins truiken@gmail.com 2007-09-12 23:27:37 --- If you have hal setup correctly, wine should recognize the mounted ISO just fine. The only problem then is that you don't have read/write perms on the loopback device.

Right, autorun.exe and other stuff run okay, I even tested chmodding /dev/loop0 to 777, and mounted with ownership to my user account. However, still the same thing, what am I doing wrong?

--- Comment #6 from Toni Spets toni.spets@gmail.com 2007-09-13 01:11:13 --- When the user has permissions to read the loop device directly Setup.exe works fine.
Most of the time the actual loop device is in /dev/loop/0 and /dev/loop0 is just a symlink.

Ah, that did the trick. Thanks.
