Alex,
Exactly the same problem with wine-0.9.6 (pre-built - downloaded from sourceforge) ...... Wanna trace?
Is there a bug report for this application (bugs.winehq.org)?
Now, you are going to need? I can do it ....
Have you tried running the installer under winedbg ("winedbg user.exe", then type "cont" at the debug prompt to pass control to the application)?
Same problem here. It freezes waiting for something ... The processes running are the same: /usr/bin/wine-preloader /usr/bin/wine-pthread winedbg.exe user.exe /usr/bin/wineserver
