Wine and windows cd's

Tryin to install sof2 in wine, however, when teh cd i smounted, certain files are "cropped", not containing thier real names...eg

ossupport.dll => shows up as ossupp~1.dll
ossupport.txt => shows up as ossupp~1.txt

when Wine reads from the cd, it says it cannot find ossupport.dll, or ossupport.txt, how can I make linux see these filenames for what they really are?

also, if there is no existing windows partition, where should [Drive D] be mounted to in the ~/.winex/config file? I realize ttat drive [Drive C] is mapped to a fake-windows dir, but what about D? Thanks to any suggestions which can help me on my quest to being completely microsoft free!!!!1

Add joliet CD support to your kernel for the long file names.
