That error means "something went wrong"

When it happens, check http://appdb.winehq.org for hints for the application
in question, maybe somebody will have a tip.

If you have been using wine for a long time, you might
try using a fresh .wine directory.

If all else fails, post a note here with the name of the app, the
version of wine, and the symptom ("e.g. installer aborted after first dialog").

OK, as I expected, there are tips at
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=3083
to help you through this (mainly, you have to copy the files
by hand after the installer crashes). Supposedly the demo
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/rom ... 05478.html ?
works once you jump through that and perhaps some other hoops.
