Cannot install app from CD

Post by richag77 »

Hi,
I've read the FAQ and I tried installing Autocad 200 from a CD with the following command
"wine start/unix//media/cdrom/SETUP.EXE"

But when I looked at the path as in Fedora13(XFCE) I typed the following:
"wine start/unix//media/NEW/Autocad*/SETUP.EXE" but still no go

Any ideas?

Autocad from CD-no go

I also tried
"wine start /unix /media/NEW/Autocad\ 2000/SETUP.EXE"
and also without a space after "unix"

any ideas?

You've given more than one version of the path. Start by figuring out what the path really is, then cd to that directory first, putting quotation marks around it in the command, e.g.

Code: Select all

cd '/path/to/directory'
wine setup.exe
In case it's not clear: substitute the real path for the path in the example.
