Hello folks,

the installer runs a bit farther for me here with default 32-bit WINEPREFIX.

--- snip ---

The installer contains a small code snippet that is incompatible with modern
Windows NT-based operating systems.

Workaround: use 32-bit WINEPREFIX with 'WinVer' set to 'Win95' or 'Win98' (use
'winecfg').

-> nothing to fix here.

Your specific crash might be the result of:

* broken WINEPREFIX
* broken Wine package (your backtrace is missing essential information about
Wine).

Since your terminal log doesn't contain "Cannot create 16-bit LDT segments"
message and your Linux kernel is 3.12, I assume you don't have the 16-bit
security fix backported or the workaround '/proc/sys/abi/ldt16' is active.
