This is a known bug.

According to the AppDB you can use the msi installer:
You need to download the .msi instead of the .exe, the exe will not work/install but the msi seems to work perfectly as stated before.

Here is the link to download the msi: https://www.sketchup.com/sketchup/SketchUpPro-msi
or use the silent option
For anyone not having the MSI version available but who wants to install from the EXE installer:
You can circumvent the failing messagebox using an additional command line option.

wine SketchUpPro-2021-1-332-116.exe /silent
