App can't find CD

Post by runebinder »

Hi there, I'm totally new to Linux, only been using Kubuntu for a week, have just installed wine and trying to get Football Manager 2008 to work, loads up however I get an error message saying that the FM2008 CD is not in the drive. The CD is in the drive and in configuring Wine selected auto detect on the drives option, how can I get round this issue?

How are you trying to run it? Have you installed it in Wine?

Open a terminal, cd to the directory where the executable is located, and try to run it with the command

Code: Select all

wine program.exe
substituting the actual name of the executable file for program.exe. Post whatever messages appear in the terminal.

AppDB says you need to use "no-cd" patch for your program - http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=5883
