I do believe this is an invalid bug. It doesn't make sense to expect the Wine loader handle non-executable files sensibly, and you can certainly do wine start installer.msi if you want to invoke the installer via a shell handler.
Exactly. Launching msi files directly under a dos prompt fails as well.
