Can't install program from CDROM / DVD

[Cosmo Lee]

I'm having trouble installing a program from the CDROM / DVD drive. I've checked to see that the mapping of the d: drive is correctly pointing to the
right place - it is:

~/.wine/dosdevices$ ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cosmo cosmo 10 2009-10-04 18:46 c: -> ../drive_c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cosmo cosmo 13 2010-08-12 20:19 d: -> /media/cdrom0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cosmo cosmo 8 2010-07-25 19:12 d:: -> /dev/sr0


I run the install program, it runs from the DVD as expected:

~/.wine/dosdevices$ wine start d:\Komplete\ 6\ Setup\ PC.exe



However, after answering the setup questions (storage directories, etc - I don't change anything, I just accept the defaults), once it gets to the point
of actually installing the software, a pop-up alert says "Disk Not Found", "Please insert Komplete 6". The disk it is asking for is the same one I've
run the installation program from, so I don't understand why it can't see those files. It's obviously seeing the DVD since it's running the
installation program from it...

Any ideas??

Thanks much for any help...Cosmo

Many Windows programs expect the current working directory to be the one
they are loaded from so, assuming that the installer's name is "Komplete
6 Setup PC.exe" try this:

cd .wine/dosdevices/d:
wine Komplete\ 6\ Setup\ PC.exe

Think about how you would install this in Windows:

D:
cd "Komplete 6 Setup PC.exe

This translates to:

Code: Select all

cd /media/cdrom0

wine "Komplete 6 Setup PC.exe"

Wine will take care of the translation of the cd location for the program.

Setup programs MUST be run from the directory from which the
installation is to take place.

Martin & James:

Thanks for your responses guys. Unfortunately, neither solution fixed the problem. I tried both of them, but still got the identical problem.

Oddly, when I actually clicked to begin the installation, the DVD drive spun up, but then the pop-up message again indicates "Disk Not Found"....


HOWEVER, I think I may have found the source of the problem. In checking things out on an actual Win XP box I noticed something VERY odd. When
I explored the DVD with XP, the DVD appears to have 8 hidden folders which do not show up in Linux. Even running `ls -lai` the additional
directories don't appear. When I viewed the DVD with the graphical Nautilus file browser the directories were also not revealed, even though I had the
"Show hidden files" option engaged.

Might this mean that WINE is not showing the files to the installer program? If Linux can't see the directories, I'm assuming WINE can't see them
either.

Any idea what is going on here?? How do I get Linux to see the files so that WINE can show them as well?? Thanks...

Unless, IIRC, it is a multi-CD installation. The shell from which
wine was started is still camped out waiting for wine to exit, and
the shell's current directory is on the CD. This keeps the first
CD from being unmounted and replaced with the second one, even if
"wine eject" is used, because the CD can't be unmounted while any
process has its current directory there and "wine eject" can't
change the shell's current directory. I think the FAQ recommends

Code: Select all

wine "/media/cdrom0/Komplete 6 Setup PC.exe"

if it is the first disk of a multi-CD installation.


If there's some multi-CD set that doesn't work when run that way,
you could try something like this (untested), being sure to include
the parentheses:

Code: Select all

( cd /media/cdrom0 && exec wine "Komplete 6 Setup PC.exe" )

The parentheses cause everything within them to be run in a
subshell -- a subprocess of the current shell -- so only the
subshell changes its current directory to /media/cdrom0.
Then the "exec" arranges for wine to _replace_ the subshell
process, rather than being run as a child of the subshell,
so only the wine process has its current directory on the
CD (and one hopes that "wine eject" knows how to deal with
that).

Pure guesswork: do you have UDF support in your linux kernel?

For example, on my machine:

#mount | grep udf
/dev/sr0 on /media/DISCRETE_MATH_DVD_2 type udf (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=1001)
^^^
The dvd is mounted as a udf filesystem (an extension of iso fs) and
like any other fs it must have kernel support to make it accessible.

The dvd is mounted as a udf filesystem (an extension of iso fs) and

An alternative... it is not compatible... (but discs often contain
both...) (UDF is also used for packet writing, such as DirectCD..)

like any other fs it must have kernel support to make it accessible.

And, since DVDs often contain a ISO9660 filesystem as well, it needs
to be mounted with udf...

do cat /proc/filesystems to see what your kernel supports

These are Mac installation files. It is interesting that Linux could
not 'see' these as the entries and files are usually in standard ISO9660
file format.

I had the same problem with Komplete 6 on Ubuntu 8.10. It turns out the DVD is being mounted as UDF but must be mounted as ISO9660 to work.

This is how I made it work:

1. Make sure the first DVD is in the drive
2. Open a terminal and become root
3. umount /media/cdrom0
4. mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0
5. Close the root shell
5. Try launching the installer now

The DVD should now be mounted as ISO9660. If this doesn't work then go verify the device /dev/scd0 and mount point /media/cdrom0 are correct. On your computer the logical device numbering may be different.

Hi,

I'm sorry to dig this old post, but first of all : thanks for this answer. I had the same problem with the Native Instrument Vintage Keys and it solved my problem.

However, I am now trying to install Native Instrument West Africa and I have the same problem but this time it doesn't work...

I am on Ubuntu 10.11 with wine-1.3.33

I did :

sudo mkdir "/media/West Africa"
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o uid=***,gid=*** /dev/cdrom "/media/West Africa"

I had to add uid and gid to have the proper permissions.

Then I run the install with :
cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/f\:
wine "west africa 110 setup pc.exe"

the installation begins, but it suddenly stops and asks : "Please insert West Africa"...

I don't know what to do...

I've noticed that a ls in the dvd gives me :
2720 -rwx------ 1 *** *** 2784560 2011-06-20 11:03 west africa 110 setup pc.exe
2 dr-xr-xr-x 1 *** *** 2048 2011-06-07 12:56 west africa installer macmpkg
2 dr-xr-xr-x 1 *** *** 2048 2011-06-07 12:53 west africa library west afric

However the same ls but in the dvd automatically mounted (in udf) gives me :
dr-x------ 4 *** *** 260 2011-06-20 11:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2011-11-27 21:28 ..
-rwx------ 1 *** *** 2784560 2011-06-20 11:03 West Africa 1.1.0 Setup PC.exe
dr-x------ 3 *** *** 88 2011-06-07 12:56 West Africa Installer Mac.mpkg

I don't get why the files names are differents...

Well, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks but I already tried with the norock option and it still doesn't work...

I realize that this is a very old thread but just neeeded to reinstall my old DVD copy of Komplete 8. Thought that I'd share the mount line I needed to use in case someone else needs to do the same. What I needed to do was the following:

mount -t udf -o uid=500,gid=500,unhide /dev/sr0 /mnt

Where uid and gid are my users. What stumped me for a long time was whether to mount as udf or iso9660, and the unhide option.
