I tried to play Kingpin Life of Crime on Windows 11. I mounted the cue/bin file of the game CD-ROM as a virtual Drive and then installed the game.
After I did that the game refused to start because the game said that the CD-ROM is not inserted.
This means the game does not recognize the virtuaully mounted CD-ROM Drive.
My windows 11 has a real physical DVD Drive called D: and a virtual BD-ROM Drive called F:
What can I do make the game detect the mounted CD?

Please can you explain on how to make the virtual drive as the first drive under windows 11?

I used the command "diskmgmt.msc" on my windows run menu.
The Physical DVD Drive is called disk 0 DVD (D:) and the virtual drive is called disk 1 DVD (F:)
Is there anything I need to do in order to change the virtual drive into my primary drive?
Please can someone explain to me on how it works.

Right click on the "disk 0 DVD (D:)" square (left part of the screen) > change drive letter and paths > change > assign the following drive letter and choose a free letter further down the alphabet, maybe G:?
This will free D:. Do the same for the virtual drive and assign D: to it.
