wine users - Nov 2009 - Installing software from CD - permission errors

I'm new to Linux and Wine, experimenting with a machine before taking the
full plunge.

I have Wine installed and have managed to install one game. The game that I
REALLY want to install gives me a permission error. I'm not sure if the
error is being generated by the software installer, Wine, or Linux. When I
double click on the installerI get a pop-up window that says "You don't
have permission to install games from BigFish games on this computer.  Please
log in with an administrator account and try again".   Game is a
"hidden object" game, requirements are XP/Vista, 800MHz CPU, 512MB
RAM, DirectX 7, 167 MB HD space. I have Wine set for XP and to emulate a virtual
desktop. I've tried with and without desktop emulation.

I'm running ubuntu based Mint 7 (Gloria).  It has been suggested that
running executables from the CD-ROM is locked out, and can't be changed.
That makes no sense to me whatsoever, since all software on CD is installed from
the CD drive.  I tried copying the CD to a folder on the HD, but that gives the
same results.

Suggestions? 

Computer is an Athlon 64 1200+, 1GB RAM, 120 GB HD, Radeon 9600 256 MB video
card.

Hmmm.... can't edit posts.  I did search the forum, didn't find
anything....

No, as that bug showed up again with the next patch to fix another problem...

Okay, thanks. So if I d/l the source and compile it though, it should work.  I
might find time to do that sometime in the next two weeks.
