Looks like a path problem to me. Instead of clicking on the file I
would put it in your wine prefix and execute it directly from the
terminal.

The FAQ can help with that if you do not understand my instruction.

If that does not work post the log on pastebin.com

I would not use the "stable" 1.2 package and use the 1.3.X package
instead. Some distributions will call this a beta package.
