    I solved the initial problem (getting Wine and EB to accept I have
a CD and all that). It seems that Wine went berserk, and put some
filepaths wrong in an .ini file. Maybe that's what's holding
you. Basically, it had some path garbled:
     it said			 it shoul've said
     -------			 ----------------
  C:\Progˇ$%ˇ$%!\dir		 C:\Program Files\something\dir

  MOreover, you might need to read the real CD details from the actual
CD. From the nice people at USENET:

    Hope this helps to sort your problem out
