wine users - Jan 2009 - Re: Cannot run Win16 installer for Judaic Classics

I found a partial workaround: since this is an old program, which, as far as I
can tell, does not use the registry, I simply copied the directory that contains
the program files of that program in wine's program files directory, and
also added the fonts it needs in wine's font directory, and voila, ...

... it works...

... almost.

The problem is that it expects a CDROM in the drive. I had ripped the cdrom into
an iso, which was good enough when accessing that "cdrom" from under
qemu+Win98 guest, so there is no copy protection on that disc, but yet, despite
having loop mounted the iso on /mnt, which, according to my wine configuration,
is a cdrom, the program complains of a lack of cdrom ("please insert your
Davka Judaic Classics CD in your CD drive").

So, what can I do to fix this?

Did you mapped it to a disk drive in winecfg?
Also note that some games record where they were installed from. And use that
path to find "the CD-ROM" they want.

No.
