There may exist a howto, but I don't know about any. But on a "no windows"
system you must install the programm using the programm supplied setup.exe (
or how it is called). Calling the executable may not be enough, as the setup
may install lots of dlls in <wine>/windows/system and create lots of registry
entries. 

However MS native application are always demanding with respect of the API
support needed and Wine may not supply enough support (yet).
