What version of Wine? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade.

Is this a clean wineprefix (no winetricks, nothing else installed)? If not, delete the wineprefix and start over with a clean one.

Run the installer from a terminal and post the complete output, including the command you use to run it. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal
