Just in case the patch was essential to the running of Oblivion (and would solve the 'no CD' error message), I tried to install the Oblivion_v1.2.0416English.exe patch, firstly by downloading an .exe file and running it but it failed.
Then I tried the suggested script, and that too failed.
This is the start of the script from POL:
# Date : (2010-09-06 14:00)
# Last revision : (2013-08-11 21:32)
# Distribution used to test : Debian Testing x64 - Linux Mint Debian Edition x64
# Author : GNU_Raziel
# updates: petch
# Licence : Retail
Both times (.exe and script) it stopped with a message that starts with 'Oldfile ...'
From the POL GUI:
