Hello,

I have just installed Wine on Ubuntu 7.10 (x86).  I have also managed to get hold of and install gecko.  However, when I try to install Steam with 
Code:
"wine start SteamInstall.msi" 

it comes up with several errors in terminal then a popup box saying "Installation ended prematurely because of an error".

Can anyone help me please?

Notes - I am in the correct directory the one with SteamInstall.msi in it) when i try installing it.

The following is the messages in the terminal from when I type wine start steaminstall.msi
