The Sims 2 has four installation discs. I read this in the faq:> If program is on multiple CD-ROM disks you don't want to change into cd-rom's directory or you won't be able to remove disk without stoping the installer. First verify that CD-ROM is mapped to a disk drive in winecfg "Drives" tab (ex D: -> /media/cdrom). Then run installer this way: > > > Code: > wine start /unix /media/cdrom/setup.exe > >So I did it that way, and yet, when it was time to put in disc two, I got an error saying:> An application is preventing the volume 'Sims2_1' from being unmounted.immediately followed by this error message:> DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

E.g., did you do: $ cd /media/cdrom/ $ wine start /unix /media/cdrom/setup.exe ? -- -Austin
