No, just delete the .wine folder in your home directory.
(You might need to do something like "View / Show Hidden Files"
in Nautilus, or ls -a, to see it.)

If this really is the first thing you've tried to get running in
Wine, that won't help.  Still, it's worth trying.

You might also try
  wine msiexec /i steamInstall.msi

How did you install Wine?  How (and why?) did you install Gecko?
