The appdb page does mention it:
http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=4641

Apparently someone was able to install it in spite of the lack of text
but not run it. Not very promising..

Does the lack of text prevent the installer from working? What happens
if you click the buttons anyway?

You could help the Wine project by trying to install it with Wine's
built-in internet explorer replacement and filing a bug if it doesn't
work. It changed significantly since 0.9.16 so you'd want to use
0.9.17, move away .wine, and start with the money installer. You may
need to edit the registry to make the app think you have IE 6 (see
http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys)
