File a bug report at http://bugs.winehq.org (after first making sure there
isn't already one).
There are three bugs open for Civ 4 already:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5921
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4791
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4915
If those don't match what you're seeing, please file a new one.

That's great!

BTW when filing bugs related to installer problems I usually
run with
  WINEDEBUG=+msi,+text setup.exe > log.txt 2>&1
  bzip2 log.txt
and then attach log.txt.bz2 to the bug report.  That lets the
developers see the message in the dialog box, among other things.
