Can't run auto-run CD image with wine

Asked by Daniela

I have a CD with an .iso image. I unpacked it and I got a directory with an autorun.exe file.
Unfortunately I can't play this CD with wine.

In have the last version of Ubuntu 8.04 - and I think the auto-run option for CDs is activated.
The error that pops in when I try to start autorun.exe;1 is DBISAM Engine Error - Table \..\inst_configdb.dat, does not exists.

I would really need to run this CD, on my laptop.
Can you give some solutions?

10x, Dana

unfortunatly for various reasons wine does not work with all software and the software it does work with often doesn't work 100% well either, i would suggest that you might want to either burn the iso file to a cd so that you have a normal cd (as the program exists) or mount the iso file normally by running the command following commands:
sudo mkdir /media/iso
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/iso/file/myfile.iso /media/iso

once you have done that you should have the cd exist in /media/iso, it will act like a real cd.

you might also want to lookup the name of the software at the wine application database to see how well it works (if others are able to test the software) http://appdb.winehq.org
