[Wine] Problems installing Watchguard Firebox System software in wine (installshield)

Hmmm.. this is strange.  Today, I wanted to use my Watchguard software 
(v7.3) under wine to configure a new firebox.  I went to the software, 
it all ran ok, but when I try to save it says that there's something 
messed up with my installation and I don't have the files required for 
this firebox version.

So, I decided to try to re-install the software and see if I could get 
these "missing parts" installed.  However, now when I try to run the 
Watchguard installer, Wine gives me this message and won't run the 
installer:

"An installation support file could not be installed (0x8000ffff)"

I'm confused... why would it run last week, but not today...?  AFAIK, I 
haven't changed anything in my wine installation between then and now...

Any ideas on what this message means and how I can get around it?

thx!
