Please  somewhat ignore the comment I made about using wine
D:/setup.exe, I'd forgotten that I'd created an fstab on that setup for
the drive. (it's a good way to install from disks, but not without the
drive being mapped

If you need the drive (and mountpoint) detected for your use then I only
see 2 choices.

1. create a drive with  drive mapping of /media/<volume label>

2. create proper fstab entry for your drive and static mountpoint, then
add or autodetect in winecfg

The additional advantage of an fstab entry is the security bit is not
applied to the .exe on the disk

Nate - are you sure you added the fstab entry properly and that the
mountpoint exists (and did a restart?

Personally i still consider this to be an issue - are there any
downsides to having an fstab entry? I don't see any other than odd
permissions on dvd media
