Empire Earth on Fedora Core 2 using wine - almost working


I would absolutely love to get it working on linux.

Current situtation:
* Empire Earth is already installed on the hard drive containing Windows 98
* It is mounted as /mnt/windows
* Wine is installed properly with *most-likely* the proper DLL's it needs to run EE

- Due to the installation complaints, I'm attempting to run it from /mnt/windows.

Current problems:
* It is executed as follows:
Code:
[moomoomilk@localhost Empire Earth]$ wine Empire*
* When doing so, a popup message says, "No CD-ROM drive found."
- This is ironic, because both of my cd-rom drives were mounted, and the Empire Earth cd can be accessed.


Can someone please help me out with these problems? And will I need to copy the registry keys for Empire Earth into my emulated registry made by wine?

Thank-you so much,
MooMooMilk

You'll need a crack for it (yes it is ilegal ) but as far as i know is the only way to get ride of the cd check protection .
