Copying from an existing windowdrive is not going to work in a lot of cases.

As a workaround I found you can get it installed by:
- winetricks -q dotnet462

- Download Orca like for example from here
https://www.technipages.com/download-orca-msi-editor

-Start the Bookshelfinstaller and let it extract the msi, but than ctrl-C it.

- The msi is in something similar like
~/.wine/drive_c/users/louis/Temp/\{B3C7AA5E-740A-4458-8676-D2BC8D2B6B9C\}/VitalSource\
Bookshelf.msi

-Run Orca, open the msi, and remove the line (Action) HardwareNotSupported in
table InstallUISequence.

-Save it and run the msi like msiexec /i VitalSource\ Bookshelf.msi

The application itsself starts, but you have to sign in and I don`t have an
account so couldn`t test further
