Hello, this is the story:

I have the original cd's for Diablo 2 (expansion pack and everything).

- I've installed the playonlinux repo for Ubuntu Karmic from your webpage.
- Installed the repo for wine "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa". The current wine version was 1.1.37.
- Since I thought this might be the problem, I uninstalled it and disabled the repo.
- I downloaded the 1.1.36 wine version from " http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html "
- I tried to run the PlayOnLinux application again and tried to install Diablo 2, I got the same error.

Anyone knows what I am doing wrong or a work arround to make this work.

Thank you in advance...

Script didn't download 1.1.36. It's fixed now.

I downloaded the 1.1.36 version from the Tools menu, and now the install launched.
Now I am doing the install.
...you mean that the playonlinux .deb package from your repo will now downlad the needed wine automaticly?

Thank you.

PlayOnLinux has its own Wine and it doesn't interfere with Wines from deb packages so you can have both independently.

Hi again. The original problem is solved. Now I've got two issues:

First, when the script asks for the CD's, I have to wait about 10 seconds after the CD stops spinning to click "next". If I fail to do that, the script doesn't find the CD and will NOT find the CD, I have to cancel the script and start it again.

Second, after the CD's are recognized by the script. The wine starts the real install, but when the program asks for a new CD, it won't recognize that the CD is inside the tray.

I read somewhere here that you could make images and mount them in several directories. I could try that, but then it would not be a real situation for playonlinux.

Am I missing something? or is there any other test I could do?

I don't know why your disc has to stop spinning. For the second problem: I also don't know what it's caused but I changed script a little bit so you can check it out. If it don't work then you may tray with ISO images.

Update:
1.-About the CD spinning, it is a linux issue, the system didn't load the CD's content before I click NEXT, now I click on it after I see that the system has loaded the CD's contents.

2.-After the wine starts the installer, the installation process asks "Please insert the CD labelled "Play Disk"." But I can not unmount the "Install CD" because it is stuck by the installer script in ~/.PlayOnLinux/instal.

I still have not tried yet mounted images from the cd's.

Can't you force unmount process? On Fedora 12 when I wan't to unmount busy CD then an dialog pops up and I can confirm that I want unmount CD.

The message pops, and nothing happens when I click on it to confirm, BUT I can press the Open/Close on the tray and the CD pops out, but the system doesn't seem to unload the CD. When I load the new CD, Nautilus still shows the previous CD and its contents, and shows the new CD but not its contents.
