5 minutes for several hundred MBs seem a *little* optimistic :), but I 
tried it. It didn't want to install, giving the error:
     $ wine il2fb_server1.11.exe
     err:virtual:map_image Image was mapped at 0x40750000: standard load
     address for a Win32 program (0x00400000) not available
     err:virtual:map_image Do you have exec-shield or prelink active?
     wine: could not load L"Y:\\Desktop\\il2fb_server1.11.exe" as Win32
     binary

I don't have exec-shield or prelink active, and not being bothered to 
figure out what was going on I just unzipped it. This seemed to work fine.

 From there, I didn't get the error you got:
     $ wine il2server.exe
     IL2 FB dedicated server v1.11

But then nothing happens (ie. the program closes without producing a 
window).

Trying:
     $ wine il2sconsole.exe
     Couldn't get I/O for the connection to IL2
Same thing.

Trying:
     $ wine il2wconsole.exe
     Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no

Hmm. So then I read the instructions :).

     $ wine GS_il2ServerLauncher.exe
produces a window which wants an IP address, but clicking "Download 
Info" found a server. I left username and password blank and clicked 
Login, selected a group and launched. This all seems to work fine, but 
(not having the game) I have no idea whether it then did the right 
thing. A (wine)console window came up saying such things as:

IL2 FB dedicated server v1.11

So it looks to me to be running fine, though obviously I can't test it 
properly.
While this is running, BTW, the other executables produce exactly the 
same output, but if I'm correctly reading the instructions, this is 
expected (and dependent upon configuration).
The application seems to include all the Java stuff it needs, but the 
idea of running it in a native Java VM does seem unlikely, given the 
number of .exe and .dll components.
HTH,
