I see the same behaviour, however have found how to run the installer.

If you run:
$ wine /mnt/cdrom/Setup/English/_s327.exe 1

The install will run and complete successfully.  (Note the 1 at the end, this is
needed otherwise it complains of not having used the launcher.)

The reason the Setup.exe doesn't work seems to be because Setup.exe uses
ntvdm.exe and krnl386.exe.  I found these using procexp on a Windows XP machine
whilst running Setup.exe.
