How to install Diablo 1 ?

[Aykan]

Hi. I want to install Diablo 1 on my netbook. I don't have any dvd driver, so I extracted *.iso image. I mounted it with furiusisomount. Anyway if i want to intall it it still tells me that i don't have CD-ROM. Can you help me?

I would try to force the iso to appear as inserted in CD drive, here how to...

Use a clean wineprefix, the directory structure will contain:

Code: Select all

dosdevices
drive_c

Create a new directory drive_y, so you have:

Code: Select all

dosdevices
drive_c
drive_y

Create symlink for the new drive, inside the dosdevices directory execute ln -s ../drive_y y:
Execute winecfg, in the Drives tab you will see your y: drive, click on Show Advanced and set its type as CD-ROM.

Now, mount the Diablo iso in that directory and hope well. I do not remember exactly, but if possible you should go by "minimal installation" since you will keep the iso anyway.
