I just discovered by playing around and tested a way to do it. Well, with
CD's not ISO's, but it should work since your mounting an iso. Spreading it
around to a lot of posts because I've been searching for months.
in terminal or under start/run, type "wineconsole cmd"
This brings you to a windows like dos terminal.
change into your CDROM disk typing "d:" or whatever your drive letter is
type in your setup program name, i.e.: "setup.exe" or "install.exe"
the install will start. Change to your C drive with "C:"
When prompted for disk x, type in "eject"
insert next disk and continue.
Repeat until application is complete.
Remember to let your CD auto-mount by selecting "open in window" or manually
mount it before clicking OK at the "Insert CD X" prompt.
Hope it helps.
BTW, you need to use dos commands when exploring around in the command
prompt. Like "dir" instead of the "ls" we got used to.

Simple one wine does not play well with ISO files.
When you say cdrom drive wine is expecting to talk to exactly that. Wine is not a cdrom emulator and mount loop back is also not a virtual cdrom drive.
If application asks wine to do a direct cdrom request command that is exactly what wine does. Mounted loop back iso's don't answer that so program fails.
Nothing wrong with wine. Its your setup that is wrong.
There is a virtual cdrom drive for Linux. Windows virtual cdrom drives will not work.

Seems like duplicity to me and a waste of HD space. If I download an ISO to
replace the original CD my kids messed up, I'm just gonna burn it to a CD
and install it normal anyway and back up the iso off the hard drive. Are we
just being lazy or do we not have a CD burner on the system?
