The easiest way is to separately install msjavx86.exe as prerequisite. Set wine config to "Windows NT4". You need "extrac32.exe" in c:\windows because installer needs it for cab files extraction (in later windows versions it's located in c:\windows\system32), . Start install, it should finish without error message.
Thanks for your help.
Installing msjavx86.exe with this method works (sort of, it first pops up a "could not install" message, then an "installation complete").
After this the Alibre installer, run with windows version set to XP, starts but soon fails with a Java error:
Executive.loadClass: class com.ms.xml.util.Name not found trace = -FS-LR
With corresponding popups in the windows interface. So apparently the Java VM installation did not really succeed.
