Well, I guess I should have put "no windows" in quotes. I used the 
wininet.dll from a Win98 installation. That appeared to be required for 
the installer to work. And I guess I have my config set to use a native 
msvcrt, if the installer uses that. Again, I have a Win98 version. And I 
have my Windows version in the config file also set for win98.

I guess the rpms you are using should work, though I have never used 
them myself. I just get Wine straight from CVS and compile. See a post 
from me a couple of days ago if you want to give that a try.

Previously (in early July), when the installer was not working, it would 
try to make a network connection for awhile. Eventually it would timeout 
and put up a dialog asking whether a proxy was needed. I never got past 
that point at that time.
