Comment on attachment 45645 [details] response from the terminal application when I launched the exe file with wine
Note that I had to convert the original MSI format file into the corresponding EXE format by a converter I found in the internet. wine command in the terminal does not like MSI files as it is not recognized as an EXE file. I have also Q4Wine and it can run the unmodified MSI file, with the same result. I will also include the message from the log facility of Q4Wine for your convenience (as attachment).
You don't need to do this, instead use 'wine msiexec /i <package.msi>'. Also consider updating to version 1.7.0 which is the latest development release.
