Problem with changing disks in multiple CD's installation

Post by Primus »

I was trying to install program on 2 CD's but when I got propmt about changing disks my OS (Kubuntu) doesn't let me do it.
It says that disk is still in use and I can't eject it...
Is there any way to avoid this problem other than multiple CD-rom devices?

First make sure the cdrom is mapped in winecfg to a drive letter. And that it's type is set to cdrom.
Second to run the setup run:

Code: Select all

cd ~; winefile
Navigate to the cdrom letter and double click on "setup.exe" or whichever the installer is.

Forgot to add, when asked to insert next disk and you can't eject it run

Code: Select all

wine eject

thanks, now i can change disks, but when i put the otherone in installation would not continue. What should I do?
EDIT: I thought it was mounting problem but now i double checked if it is mounted and it is, and it is.
I even tried to start exe file on the second CD but it doesn't work
I get this error in console:

Code: Select all

preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000
err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report
/sorry for so many edits/
I just saw that my second disk is not named the same as what the installer wants, but even thought in WIN XP it worked just fine...
