No Manual Installation Possible, Rigid Window too Small

No Buttons Accessible to Continue Installation

Hello everyone,

I just tried to install FIFA15 (by EA Sports) for my kids. I have to add that I am using a German language Linux (Fedora 24, 4.8.8-200.fc24.x86_64 version, KDE desktop, all up-to-date) so maybe my English terms are not literally the same as in original English versions of POL.

In order to do so, I opened POL 4.2.10 and chose "Install". A new window opened. A rigid window; no resize possible, no scrolling possible (why?). The buttons and the link "Install a program which is not listed here" at the bottom are bearely accessible but I could just klick on "Install a program which is not listed here".

The window closed and another rigid window without scrolling features, smaller than the previous one, opened. The (German) text spills out at the bottom and I have no possiility to proceed.

I tried tab, return and other keys but to success. No way to start setup.exe from installation CD 1 (of 2).

Background information: I configured a new virtual drive called FiFa with a 64-bit Wine emulation (1.9.23) of Windows 7 (not XP) for installation.

How can I install a game from CD (DVD)?

Thanks a lot for answering! Good night from Germany, Der Hanseat
