Hey community,

I am trying to install Age of Empires II with PlayOnLinux. I have Linux Mint 20.3 (Cinnamon).
I have the original CD version of 1999. I follow the instructions, however, I encounter the following message:
"Error: Unable to find CD-ROM"
Obviously the CD is in the tray ! :-) Moreover the CD is working fine (I have tried it in a Windows machine).

I use the following installation script (Age of Empires II) where the wine version 3.0.3 is installed:

I have also tried the script "Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings", however the installation process does not start at all at this case (without showing any error message)

I would appreciate any help
All the best
Nikos

as far as you extract the ISO in one folder, it won't say Error: Unable to find CD-ROM

This also happen on windows if you don't put full ISO in one folder


PlayOnLinux for rest of life. Thanks for the maintainer!
