wine users - Jul 2010 - Mounting an ISO or FS Location as a CDROM in WINE...

Is it possible to mount either an ISO Archive file, or a location within my File
System, as a CDROM which WINE can use as such?  If so, then how can I do that?

Normally you do not need to do anything more then mount your optical 
image with the flag -o loop. For example:

shell> mount <iso filename> <target dir> -o loop

If your target dir is accessible to your regular user, it will be 
available to WINE.

For non-standard images, you may need to look at if the cdemu package 
from your distribution de jour.

Thanks Bryan, I'll try that!  :)

OK... WINE is not running the installer as though it was a CDROM... how do I fix
that?

You need to map the mounted iso as a cdrom in winecfg. With the iso already
mounted, go to the Drives tab and click autodetect. The mounted iso should
appear in the drives list. Click Show Advanced, select the drive, and make sure
the Type is set to cdrom.

Just tried that, same results as before...

Well, moving the .wine folder didn't work... I guess this must just be a bad
image of Command & Conquer Windows 95 Edition.  Thanks anyway.
