I am trying to install Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 onto my computer. I am running Linux (Ubuntu). I am also using Wine,which is supposedly to allow compatibility with Windows and Linux. I really am quite stuck! I am a newbie on Linux, so the documentation for Wine is not helping me very much. Can anyone help me?

1. Insert the CD-ROM. Ok, open up a terminal/command prompt/console/command line/CLI/whatever and then type:

   cd /media/cdrom

   This should be the path to the automounted cdrom drive. If it is not, see below.

   Then type:

   ls

   You should see a file named setup.exe or something similar. Now type:

   wine setup.exe

   This should bring up the install dialog just like it is on Windows! If this does not happen, see below. Make sure you do not exit out of the command line at any point during the installation.

   Anyway, if /media/cdrom is not where your CD is located, the type:

   cd /media
   ls

   There should be something like cdrom0 cdrom1 cdrw etc. That is where your cd is. Now type

   cd <whateveritis>

   to change to that directory and go back and follow the directions from that point.

   If you typed wine setup.exe and it said Command not found, then you need to install wine!

   Follow the instructions here to add wine to your repos in Synaptic –> http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb…

   Now, exit out of Synaptic and go back into your command line! Type

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install wine

   This will install wine. Now you can go back and run setup.exe.
