Bug ID: 56092 Summary: feature request: add support for mounting .iso files to winecfg Product: Wine Version: 9.0-rc3 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: cedric.dewijs@eclipso.eu Distribution: ---
feature request: add support for mounting .iso files and adding a new drive letter to winecfg
It would be nice of a CDROM drive can be added to wine by browsing to an iso file. Then winecfg should do two actions:
1) Mount the iso file 2) Create a CDROM drive, and point it to the directory it's mounted in.
Then the game can be installed by browsing to .wine/dosdeviced/d: and then run the installer there.

--- Comment #1 from Olivier F. R. Dierick o.dierick@piezo-forte.be --- Hello,
1) I can anticipate negative response from the developers: They are reluctant to add a dependency to external tools, especially for an operation that should be straightforward for the user to do.
2) On my system, Wine always auto-detects loop devices and sets a drive letter for them, regardless of the mounting tool I used (udisksctl or mount on the command line, gnome-disk-image-mounter from the graphical file manager).
It appears from bug 56087 that on your system, Wine fails to detect and set a drive letter in any case. That is the problem you're facing and this is what should be investigated.
Regards.

1) I agree adding a dependency could be an issue. Can this be implemented as a optional dependency? Wine could check for a list of common iso tools, and use one if the user has installed. Wine could also list it as an optional dependency at install time. I don't know how much work this is, and if it's worth the time to implement it.
2) I'll investigate when wine does, and wine doesn't detect the CD on my system. I'll file a new bug for that, as it would be off topic here.

--- Comment #3 from Alexandre Julliard julliard@winehq.org --- The desktop already provides the necessary tools for mounting isos, there's no need for Wine to duplicate this.
