The DVD I used did not allow the game to run.   It seems that this game was re-released (a digital release) without DRM.

# Date : (2019-09-27)
# Last revision : see Changelog
# Wine version used : see Changelog
# Distribution used to test : KUbuntu 18.04 x64
# Author : Dadu042
# Licence : Retail
#
# TESTED EDITION: DVD v1.0 (2006) + NoCD (for v1.0).
#
# Middlewares used by this software : DirectX 9.
#
# CHANGELOG
# [Dadu042] (2019-09-27)
#   First script.
#
#
# KNOWN ISSUES:
#  - Wine amd64 4.0.2, game v1.0 (+NoCD): crash after the first splash screen (even with NoCD). Tried: d3dx9_43 + d3dcompiler_43 (same crash and still a lot of D3D issues in the log).
#  - Wine amd64 4.0.2 (and 3.0.3, 4.15), game v1.0 patched to v1.04.1 (+NoCD 1.04.1 english): same crash as above. End of the log:
#    0009:fixme:d3dx:d3dx9_effect_init Failed to parse effect, hr 0x8876086c.
#    0009:fixme:d3dcompiler:compile_shader Compilation target "fx_2_0" not yet supported
#    0009:fixme:d3dx:d3dx9_effect_init Failed to parse effect, hr 0x8876086c.
#    0009:err:d3dcompiler:assemble_shader Asm reading failed
#
#
# Idea to improve this script: select archive, then detect if the file extension is RAR or ZIP or 7Z...
