Hello!
I've just registered because i've googled the half of the net for a solution for this problem, pointlessly.
Read through many threads and it seems that no one had this problem before, i just guess that someone from here did.
So, here's the problem:
I have NRG images of the game cd's and want to install it with WINE on Jaunty, but of course it's a little tricky to mount NRG images into a filesystem directory, so i tried nrg2iso to convert them into ISO format then used the
mount -o loop ../cdimage.iso /media/iso
command. Then ran setup.exe from a file manager (with Win98 compatibility and virtual desktop wine config) and a window popped up with the message: "Please insert CD-ROM disc", and i was unable to advance. Of course /media/iso is set as a CD-ROM drive in winecfg, as well as /media/cdrom0. Same result running from console,
but it gives an error message: "Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/nlcreations', starting in the Windows directory."
Then I tried to install the game on a virtual Windows XP (in Win98 compatibility mode), using the same ISO file. The result was exactly the same.
I think the problem is in the converted ISO image.
I've also tried to install Daemon Tools on this virtual box with no success, so somehow i want to try mounting the NRG file onto my filesystem without conversion. Found that fusenrg shall do that, but when i run it (as root), i get the error message: "Permission denied."
So i stuck here, if someone had this (or kind of this) problem please help me!
Thanks,
