What happens if you set your Wine version to Windows 98 in winecfg then run the installer again?
Exactly the same result if I set version to Win 98 or Win ME.

can you try changing the value of MajorSubsystemVersion in the PE header of setup.exe? (assuming it's setup.exe that reports the error).
You'll need to copy the contents of the cd to disk first so that it's writeable.
Then use http://jeffz.name/code/pe.exe (http://jeffz.name/code/pe.c) eg.
cp -R /media/cdrom dns7 cd dns7 wget http://jeffz.name/code/pe.exe wine pe setup.exe wine setup.exe
If it works then it's a duplicate of the bug I first mentioned.
I followed through your instructions to the letter and sad to say, I didn't note any change. As far as I can tell MajorSubsystemVersion changed from 4 to 3 but no go, I'm afraid. I appreciate your help: I'm treading on *very* thin ice here...
