Bug description:
  I would like to install Far Cry from the DVD on Ubuntu Lucid but I
  wasn't able to do so because the installation executable was lacking
  the executable bit. I verified in fstab and there was the exec option
  on the cdrom line. Furthermore I was able to install Counter Strike
  from the CDROM (is there a difference between how DVD and CDROM are
  managed?). I had to umount the DVD and mount it again in an other
  folder, /usr/cd (/mnt/cd didn't work) to get the install executable
  work.

  == Regression details ==
  Discovered in version: lucid
  Last known good version: karmic, which had no cautious-launcher

  == Workaround ==
  Install Wine from the Wine Team PPA, which disables the use of cautious-launcher
