Installation From CD's

Post by telepete »

Hey all,
I am trying to install an old game through wine (Diablo 2 actually). The installation process has the user switch between 3 discs. A dialog box opens and says "please insert play disc" but when its in the drive and i click "ok" the same dialog opens again. I can click "ok" as many times as I like but the box just keeps asking for the disc even though its in the drive. I don't understand what the problem is.

Thanks for reading,
pete

On some distros Wine can't detect that you swapped CD. You need to use 'wine eject d:' to eject one CD and go to the next one.
