That's a vbscript action.  Hopefully it's nothing vital (sometimes those just
pick whether checkboxes should be checked by default).  Wine doesn't
support those yet.  Potentially you could work around this by installing
WSH and native MSI.  Here are some old instructions for getting WSH:

-- snip --
In windows, download the Windows Scripting Host 5.6 for Win2K
installer from Microsoft.  Also grab a copy of mfc42.dll from somewhere.
Reboot into Linux, then install as follows:
rm -rf .wine
wineprefixcreate
cp MFC42.DLL .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
wine installers/WindowsXP-Windows2000-Script56-KB917344-x86-enu.exe
-- snip --

And notes for using native MSI are at

Please file a bug for this at http://bugs.winehq.org, and be sure
to mention which version of wine you're using.
If you do try native msi, let us know whether that helped, too
(it's not a fix, just a workaround; this should work without it).
Our crack(-smoking) msi team will have a look...

Thanks!
