Thx for the immediate response.

I agree that an installation this way is unusual for Linux because for Linux
the file association for msi files is properly set and by clicking in the Data
Manager to an msi file the Wine installer starts.

But we use it for MAC OS X. We have found that file association in the Mac
Finder is always an issue. If file association in the Mac Finder is not
correctly set for whatever reasons, a typical Mac user gives up and says "does
not work".  

We have identified that this uninstaller program with this Install button is
the best way for a typical Mac user to install a Windows msi file for Wine on a
Mac. 
After hitting the Install button the default folder setting shows the user's
home directory. The only task a Mac user needs to do is to navigate to the
Downloads folder and ONLY the msi or other Windows files are presented. A Mac
user is very familiar with this process.
