Additional Comments

When running the game, it throw a few warnings about XRandR not being able to switch from 32 BPP to 8 BPP, switches to a resolution of 640x480, spawns a fullscreen window which goes black. Then nothing happens. This is true both when letting wine emulate a desktop as well as not doing so.

Run the _issetup.exe file to install.

After running through that edit the registry as follows:

"Find the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HDI/Emperor of the Fading Suns/1.0

and create a new String value called CDROM with data value "" where is the drive you installed it from (or want it to play music from).
E.g: "E:\" "

More direct instructions:
Go to that registry location, on the right hand window right click and under the 'new' option pick "String Value" and then type in:

CDROM

Once thats done double click on the CDROM value you just made and enter the letter of your CD drive in quotes, so if it's drive D enter:

"D:\"
