wine: Read access denied for device L"\\??\\Z:\\",
is this common issue?
what can be done?
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.
i get this error went pasting wine: Read access denied for device L"\\??\\E:\\", FS volume label and serial are not available.
i know 32 games cant run unless you have wine or bottles or lutris. but, i use dvd games.
i prefer cds over steam.
Yep, file not found, so are you in the wrong directory maybe, or did you misspell the .exe you wanted to run with Wine?
i see, that makes sense.
so the first part is normal. i had to reinstall my os cause of other issues.
its poissble i might of misspelled
i thought installing wolfenstein - platinum editoon in id software studios of c drive was good. though the default of the dvd game i have is in drive f.
i intend to type fast.
i tried installing it via winecfg.
that doesnt seem to work. when i load disc 2 and press ok. it stops the install.
so it must be something im doing wrong.

i tried using them. but, some of them got too confusing.
lutris seems decent. but has issues asa well with cds.
just an idea. would two external blue ray players would solve my issue?
its funny, this is the first time rtcw managed to gvie me this much problems.

I have no clue what the real Problem might be now.

For some software (i.e. VR-Video Player through Steam-Proton) i have some kind of similar issues where the application is only allowed to access to the app-directory and the proton-sandbox.
But you can add additional paths via:
PRESSURE_VESSEL_FILESYSTEMS_RO="<your absolute path(s) go here>" %COMMAND%
to gain access to other places which appear then (as drives if separate partition) in your app/game... this works recursively on the partition the path is on.. if you mounted something underneath it, you have to define that separately (i.e. symlinking doesn't work if it's a differrent mount!)
that's for steam-proton stuff... but maybe this applies also to your problem? maybe look at the wine help pages...
for steam-proton stuff these pages i found these pages to be helpful:
github: proton directory sharing documentation
github: proton runtime config options documentation

This will work for simple disc-check DRM but it may not work for discs with some form of copy protection DRM.

really? does rtcw have it? awhile doom 3, quake 4 and etc dont?
hmm, interesting. so rtcw has and probably some type of drm.
so for this particular game there is a chance i wont eb able to install it this time.
drm would makes sense. its weird how my other games can easily load. this one doesnt. though it makes sense.
I have also never heard of a disc copy protection used on an installer. Was that ever a thing? So I don't that's the problem either.
I'm still not sure what exactly your problem is? Does Wine or the installer crash when you insert the second disc?
