Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since
this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work,
I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 10.10 (not 10.4) blocks all my windows CD's from running under
  wine as they are not marked as executable files. I cannot change the
  permissions because they are on CD's and hence Read Only. I cannot (and
  do not want to ) make a copy of all the CD's I use rarely onto my hard
  drive and run from there - and in any case some of the CD's are
  protected to prevent this.
  
  Is there a fix that I can't see or am I going to have to rollback to
  10.4 which lacked this amazingly crass feature (why no override
  possibility on block?)
+ 
+ WORKAROUND:
+ You can add the wine ppa (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa) which works around this.
