--- Comment #2 from Olivier F. R. Dierick <o.dierick at piezo-forte.be> ---
Hello,

IMO, the icon is a symptom of the issue, not the cause. Wine can only generate
the icon from files it can access. So, if Wine "cannot find" the exe file when
you try to run it, it will not extract the icon either.

This looks like a wineprefix or path issue.

winetricks uses the WINEPREFIX that you tell it to use. Make sure that you use
a WINEPREFIX that has access to the exe file.

Check in winecfg that the path where the exe files are accessible from one of
the A: ... Z: dos drive.

Note that wine may have issue with remote/mounted/symlinked filesystems.

I always copy windows files in a drive_c/ subpath in the wineprefix when I want
to run it, unless it is on a disk/floppy. In the latter case, make sure the
disk/floppy drive has a dos letter assigned to it in winecfg.

"/mnt/data1" looks like a mounted path, so for a workaround, try to copy the
whole installer directory to a temporary directory in your wineprefix drive_c/
and install from there. When the program is installed you can delete the
temporary directory to get the disk space back.

To debug the "cannot find" exe file issue, please attach a WINEDEBUG=+file
debug log. Instructions to get a debug log can be found there:

Regards.
