Well, for Wine to work, it needs to be able to map a Windows drive to
the path.  Maybe it doesn't know how, in this case.

I've always had good luck just changing to the directory where the
Windows binary is and running from there.

But really, it should be able to run from the CD-ROM anyway.  That's a
red flag right there.

Have you found any info anywhere on whether anyone else has tried
running MapSource under Wine?  I'd be quite surprised if you were the
first.  It might even be listed on the WineHQ compatibility database.
