Well, I've found the problem for this one (kinda).  Part way through the
installation, an error dialog is displayed complaining about not enough
disk space.  However, the dialog was displayed behind the main dialog
(which, being 'blocked' by the error message, could not be moved).  I
was able to get at this dialog by moving the main dialog to the bottom
just before pressing the button that triggers the error.

According to the Wine Trouble Shooting Guide, I am getting this error
because a misconfigured registry (I'll have to look into that).

My next question: Why didn't the error dialog display on top of the main
dialog, they way it's supposed to?

Well, thanx for listening... ;)
