Installation of the application gets stuck once the installer asks for CD2; for some reason, it refuses to recognize the new CD. Same issue that plagues several other oldies but goodies, including Mafia.

You might be able to work around it by using the Wine Configuration (winecfg) control panel to make sure the same drive letter is assigned to both CDs. You'd run it once when the first CD is still in the drive to see what letter it got. Then, after you swap CDs, you'd run it again to make sure that drive letter was assigned to the second CD.
No dice with that fix, but I did have success dragging the files off of both CDs into a single folder on my desktop, and installing from there. The game installed successfully - no trace of the Disk 2 error message. However, the game critical error-ed upon running; there appears to be a D3D issue. I'll have to delve more into that, next.
This also gives me some hope for Mafia. I'll have to dig out those CDs and try the same technique with that one tomorrow.
New development: The D3D error was just a temporary glitch left over from running the installer. On a new launch of CXGames, the game runs flawlessly. Success!
