You should load the installer from the command-line after exporting
the variable. (The variable only changes for that process and its
children if you are wondering...)

Another issue:
Check that the external drive in not formatted as NTFS / FAT32, their
drivers doesn't (or at least didn't, not sure if it might have
changed) support everything that Wine needs...
