Installation error: "Invalid name" - solution found

[Swarup]

I am using Wine on Ubuntu 12.04 and have successfully installed a few applications via wine. But I am trying to install another application today, and upon initiating the install via wine by clicking on the install.exe file, I get the error "Invalid name". This is an application which I have installed on quite a number of Ubuntu boxes using wine, without any problem. So I know the name is not invalid. So what is this error, and how can I solve it.

No need for this thread-- I got the solution. My colleague had added a bunch of "????" to the file name, due to which wine would not install using its .exe file. Don't know why wine objected to this, but as soon as I removed the question marks, the installer worked fine.

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

What happens when you run it from a terminal?
