how to execute a windows installer from cd-rom

hello,
I'm using Lucid Lynx Ubuntu and I am trying to install a windows software with wine from cdrom.
the problem is that the installer is not trusted and neither I can change permissions nor copy it on hard-drive because the file is huge.
how to force wine to execute this installer?
thanks in advance

How do you known about that?

If you can install this program from disk, you can make a symlink to cdrom in your wine virtual hard drive and run installer from there. For example:

ln --symbolic /cdrom ~/.wine/drive_c
