wine users - Apr 2008 - App installation trouble

Hello All,

I'm trying to install Digital Photo Professional from the Canon software
disk that came with my 40D using WINE. To start with, the files on the CD seem
to be oddly named. For example, "setup.ex.exe" in the root dir of the
CD. "setup.dl.dll" in the installation dir. "install..exe"
(sic) complains in a pop-up window that "setup.dll" cannot be loaded.
That makes sense because the file is named "setup.dl.dll".

I'm doing all of this from the command line in a Linux terminal window, and
no other errors are reported by WINE. I can't find any help in the FAQ and
the AppDB only talks about an old version of DPP. Is it normal for DLLs to be
named *.dl.dll? It seems that that is the problem, yet no Windows users that I
know of have complained about installation problems.

I should note that I have very little experience with Windows as I've always
used Linux instead, so I'm probably just doing something stupid.

Thanks for any help.

Check what filesystem did you mount CD-ROM as. If it's iso9660 try UDF for
example. And wise-versa.

Some companies create cd-roms that can't be properly mounted or contain
incorrect FS for the media.
