You probably need to edit ~/.wine/config and tell it that
drive C is /disks/c, e.g.
[Drive C]
"Path" = "/disks/c"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "c"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

or something like that.  Might depend on which version of Wine you're
using.

Many setup.exe programs don't work properly on Wine.  It's often best
to install the programs under Windows, then use them under Linux with
wine.
