I'll jump in too, installing on Ubuntu 19.04

System Wine (as in, the one in the package repos / software center) is fine.

I found a program called Furius ISO Mounter or something similar - was in the repos. It allowed me to mount all 5 discs at once as directories. I changed my wine options (`winecfg` to mount them all as drives) and simply pointed the install program at the next letter when it asked. After install I cleared that out and unmounted the ISOs. Done. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I spent a good couple of hours on that stupid dsetup.dll / DSetup.DLL problem. Just delete the older file - WINE will happily translate case-insensitive file loads for you, so you don't have to fix the casing.

After that I had no issues getting the server list, and didn't have to do any 'fixes' beyond the P99 file list.

My only issue was taskset, I had to assign it to both halves of a hyperthreading-enabled CPU.
