The problem occurs with how the cd is being mounted you need to mount the disk using the iso9660 file system type. first make a directory in /media folder mkdir /media/RCT2 mount -t iso9660 /dev/<yourcddrive> /media/RCT2 inserting <yourdive> with the name of your drive mine is sr0 . Then you should be able to run the .exe . I am not sure why the disk is being mounted in the wrong file system.
