wine users - Dec 2009 - Rosetta Stone/Wine not able to detect language iso

Hi,

I installed Rosetta Stone v3.4.5 using wine on Fedora 12. Seems like the program
was installed fine. When I launch the program it is asking me to insert the
language CD. I have the iso files instead of CDs. I tried mounting them but
still Wine/Rosetta Stone is not able to detect the mounted iso. Can someone give
me a clue as what should I try?

Thanks

Did you map the mounted iso as a cd-rom drive in winecfg?

Can you tell me how to do it starting with mounting iso as a CDROM.

here is what I did:

Code:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount -o loop /home/tm/Desktop/fl1.ISO /mnt/cdrom
wine cmd.exe
D:
dir



Now I see the content of the French Language CD 1. 

In Win Configuration window on Drivers tab, I entered D: /mnt/cdrom

When I launch Rosetta Stone and try to add language file, the program still
cannot find the drive D.

Here is the output of mount command:

Code:

/dev/mapper/vg_bubba-lv_root on / type ext4 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs
(rw,rootcontext="system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0")
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext4 (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/tm/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon
(rw,nosuid,nodev,user=tm)
/dev/loop0 on /mnt/cdrom type iso9660 (rw)




Here is the output of command df -h:

Code:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/loop0            329M  329M     0 100% /mnt/cdrom




Here is the output of command ls -la ~/.wine/dosdevices:

Code:

drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 2009-12-12 17:35 .
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 2009-12-12 17:36 ..

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root    1 2009-12-12 17:26 z: -> /




Thanks for generous help. What should I do next?

Why are you running as root and not a regular user?

I think the problem is indeed you do this as a root user, you should never ever
run as a root user on your computer, always make a separate account to do your
graphical crap and sudo to root only when it is needed.

I was doing something else that needed that I switch to root that explains why I
was working as root.  The question is does the output of any of those commands
gave you any clue as what could be the problem as Rosetta Stone cannot fins D
drive?
