When you run the installer, it asks for your email address, and aborts complaining that you have to install msxml to continue.
After doing 'winetricks msxml3', you get further; it then complains that you can't install without a working internet connection. The log shows
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {2087c2f4-2cef-4953-a8ab-66779b670495} not registered
which seems related; that's the GUID for something called WinHttpRequest Component. I think it's part of winhttp 5.
