The Sims 2

[rottenpunker]

The Sims 2 has four installation discs. I read this in the faq:

If program is on multiple CD-ROM disks you don't want to change into cd-rom's directory or you won't be able to remove disk without stoping the installer. First verify that CD-ROM is mapped to a disk drive in winecfg "Drives" tab (ex D: -> /media/cdrom). Then run installer this way:

Code: Select all

wine start /unix /media/cdrom/setup.exe

So I did it that way, and yet, when it was time to put in disc two, I got an error saying:

An application is preventing the volume 'Sims2_1' from being unmounted.

immediately followed by this error message:

DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Do you have a terminal opened in that directory?

E.g., did you do:
$ cd /media/cdrom/
$ wine start /unix /media/cdrom/setup.exe

?

$ cd /media/cdrom/
$ wine start /unix /media/cdrom/setup.exe

If you did, then it would explain why it didn't work. You should NOT cd into mount point.

No, I did it just the way I showed you.

Code: Select all

wine start /unix /media/cdrom/setup.exe

[/code]

Code:
wine start /unix /media/cdrom/setup.exe

Try:
$ lsof | grep "/media/cdrom"

That doesn't seem to do anything.

Then there's nothing accessing the cdrom directory.

Did you try 'wine eject d:'? http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-dc33f7e ... ebb1f024f7
