If by "fail while selecting the directory to install", you mean that clicking on "next" after selecting directory to install to, nothing happens, try to erase your $HOME/.wine directory.
During my experiments with S&T 2005 on Debian Sarge (which supplies Wine 20050310), I upgraded to Wine 0.9.7 (from sarge-backports) and got that problem. Erasing that folder fixed "next button does nothing" problem - only to hit another one, see my other comment.
