Baldur's gate II installing problem...

[Federico]

Hi all,
I'm using wine 9.57 in ubuntu gutsy, I'm trying to install BGII but
the installshield, when reaches about 78%, asks me for the cd2: I give
the directory path and immediately it asks for cd 3,4,5. Naturally i
can't provide cd 5 because BGII is a 4cds game. I've tried to upgrade
installshield with no result. I've also tried to eject (wine eject)
the directory with cd1 but wine said "directory busy".
Thanks,
Federico

You have to:
1. Map your cdrom as a drive in winecfg. And make sure it's type set to cdrom
2. To start installer run winefile, navigate to your cdrom drive and double click on the installer.
3. To eject cdrom use 'wine eject d:' where "d:" is the drive you mapped your cdrom to in 1)

mentions the "5 disc" problem, did you notice it? That may be where
Vitamin got the solution.

By the way, the "directory busy" message probably means
you have a shell open in the disc you're trying to eject...?
Try cd'ing outside the disc's directory before ejecting.

Are you installing from cdrom?
