Hello, I'm a rookie in what refers to PlayOnLinux.

I have a P IV with 1,5 gb ram and an Nvidia GeForce 6200 with its drivers properly installed.

My problem was the following:

I wrote a script to install Doom 3 (it's Windows version) and it seems to work; the installation process starts properly. But when my PC should ask for CD 2, it finishes the installation process without asking for it. Obviously, the game doesn't work.

Here is a copy of the script I wrote.

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$PLAYONLINUX" = "" ]
then
exit 0
fi
source "$PLAYONLINUX/lib/sources"
cfg_check

POL_SetupWindow_Init ""

POL_SetupWindow_presentation "Doom 3" "Id software" "http:www.doom3.com" "javierelpianista" "Doom3"

POL_SetupWindow_cdrom
POL_SetupWindow_check_cdrom "setup.exe"

mkdir -p $REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/Doom3
cd $REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/Doom3
select_prefixe "$(pwd)"
POL_SetupWindow_prefixcreate

POL_SetupWindow_wait_next_signal "Instalación en progreso" "Doom 3"
cd drive_c/windows/
mkdir temp
cd $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices
rm ./*
ln -s ../drive_c c:
ln -s / z:
ln -s $CDROM ./d:
cd $CDROM
wine d:\\setup.exe

POL_SetupWindow_detect_exit
POL_SetupWindow_message "Para continuar con la instalación presione aceptar" "Doom 3"
Set_SoundDriver alsa

POL_SetupWindow_reboot
POL_SetupWindow_make_shortcut "Doom 3" "Doom 3\\" "Doom3.exe" "" "Doom 3"

POL_SetupWindow_message "Instalación terminada" "Doom 3"
POL_SetupWindow_Close
exit

Thanks in advance for your help.

While my case is not about this game, I have the very same issue. I'm trying to install my copy of Adobe Creative Suite (Web Premium), and when the installation package asks for the second disc (DVD), I don't know how to do it.

Linux locks the drive because wineserver is using it, and if I do a "wine eject", the ACS installation package won't recognize the second disc.

How can I do this disc swapping? Thanks in advance for your support.
