Okay, there really is an error message like that.  It comes from
relay32/builtin32.c.  I had just never seen it provoked before.
AFAICT, you have got Wine terribly confused, and it thinks it is trying
to load a Winelib executable.  That, I guess is why it is nattering
about a .spec file.  It thinks you are asking it to load a Winelib
program you have not built correctly.  Any way I try to do it, I get
"invalid exe" or some complaint about what nonsense I have set into
WINEPRELOAD.

What on earth _is_ D:\\setup.exe?

What does

file <unix path to D:>/setup.exe say?

how about "winedump dump"?

What happens if you try to run some other .exe file, say that nasty
little cmdl.exe I posted a few days ago?

Sorry I doubted your error message.
