WINE help for a newbie

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure WINE to run AutoCAD for a course I'm taking, and I'm having a helluva time. My problem is that I really don't understand terminal commands. I'm following the following instructions:

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6035

I'm fine up to step 4 (4. navigate to your AutoCAD 2006 CD and run wine setup.exe)

How in tarnation do I do that? All the commands I've found don't seem to work. The drive's mounted, it shows up on the desktop, but I simply cannot figure out how to access it in terminal.

I'd really appreciate any help or advice you guys can give me.
 
Open it up on the desktop, right click setup.exe, and choose open with Wine, or something that reads similar to that.
 
I've tried that, and I get the following message:

The file '/media/ACLT2002/setup.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

Is there a workaround for this?
 
Right click setup.exe, pick properties, pick permissions, check off the check box that says "Allow executing file as program". That should do it.
 
LoL, ok. I've never done an install from a CD. Try copying setup.exe to your hd, then changing the executable option as outlined above.

Edit:
I'm hoping it'll then find the CD to go with the install.
