.exe not found by wine / mounted cdrom on ubuntu/virtual box

[ferdltrommsdorff]

Hi there,

I've created a virtual machine using VirtualBox. There's Ubuntu 22.04 running on it. I've mapped my CD-Rom drive D:\ (underlying OS: Windows 10) using the shared folder option in VirtualBox. It's mounted to /mnt/d. I can see all files contained there (using "ls"). I want to install a programm contained on that cd. I simply use "wine <name_of_program>.exe". I receive the following error:

Code: Select all

0024:err:module:process_init L"C:\\windows\\system32\\<name_of_program>.exe" not found

It seems that there is an issue of getting the correct path, which is "D:\<name_of_program>.exe.
There is a human readable text file in the same folder, which I can successfully read with "vim <name_of_textfile>.txt". It seems, that Ubuntu can resolve the path and access to the date in that folder, but wine does not. I can't copy the content to another drive, because it's an old game (Patrizier 2 Gold Edition) and it has to be installed from disk first before gaming.

Thanks for hints!
