I'm guessing you did NOT run the game when prompted by the installer, and
instead ran it afterward manually (and it failed to run).  I was able to
recreate this scenario a few times.

The problem seems to be, the game sometimes needs to find an Options.ini file
in the wine user Documents area.  I don't know if content is required, but the
minimal content the installer adds one first run is:

cat > ${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/users/${USER}/Documents/Command\ and\ Conquer\
Generals\ Data/Option.ini <<EOF
IdealStaticGameLOD = High
StaticGameLOD = High
EOF
<Ctrl-D>

If this doesn't work, I can package a WINEPREFIX for you.

Note: the -nologo option just skips the intro movie.  It becomes annoying when
doing regression testing.
