I've been having problems with most installers as well, and noted that there
were (at least) two things I had to do to get them to work at all:

1) normally I run with LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8 on my system, but to get installers
and other things to work with wine (especially input field type stuff) I have to
run wine as "LC_ALL=C wine".  I suspect IMM problems are the reason for this,
but haven't tracked it down.

2) for some reason I cannot install onto my FAT partition.  I have /mnt/dose
mapped in Wine as e:\ (oddly enough), and if I try to install _anything_ onto
it, it fails shortly after the first file or two gets copied.  _But_ if I
install to my wine-drive (~/.wine/drive_c mapped as c:\) then all works just
fine.  This is rather annoying as my home drive is getting low on space and
installing large game demos for wined3d testing (which I normally put on e:\)
suck up a lot of space.

So Sergei:  try installing to a Linux partition, and run wine with your locale
set to C (or POSIX I imagine), and see if that helps.
