BTW, the disc seems to have been badly mastered.
I had to mount the cdrom with the 'norock' option, else
the files on the disk are not readable.

The outer setup.exe still has problems.  I tried

winetricks -q volnum win2k
wine setup

and it seemed to sucessfully install mdac and dotnet11
(modulo the usual crashes).  It however had a stack overflow
error trying to install the actual product.  (Possibly
because the .msi file is expected to be named greatplains.msi,
but is named greatp~1.msi because of the norock problem.)

To work around the short names created by mounting norock,
I created a directory full of symlinks to the files on the cdrom,
but with long names.  This changed things; now it failed with
wine: Call from 0x7ee11140 to unimplemented function
gdiplus.dll.GdiplusNotificationHook, aborting
fixme:gdiplus:GdipGetLineSpacing stub!

Adding 'winetricks gdiplus' helped!  The setup init screen
looked snazzier.  It then fell over with

fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse
L"Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.Deployment.CommonDialogs.resources"
and the dialog
"Failed to load resources from resource file."

So we're getting quite close.  Let's call it a gdiplus bug for now.

(FWIW:
The following recipe lets you install the product without using the outer
setup:
winetricks -q volnum dotnet11 win2k
wine bin/mdac/mdac_typ.exe 
wine msiexec /i bin/greatp~1.msi 
After doing that, the inner installer runs to completion
nicely, modulo two cosmetic problems,
list of countries looked like it hadn't
been expanded, couldn't access EULA)
