It looks like you're running into
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11019 /
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11818
which were caused by commits later in December.  We don't have a
handle on those yet.

I verified that wine-0.9.51 doesn't have that problem.
Installing wine-0.9.51 from winehq.org, then doing
  rm -rf .wine
  wine install.exe    (writeitnow310s's installer)
fails with
  err:module:import_dll Library MSVCR71.dll (which is needed by
"...lient\\jvm.dll") not found

Working around that with
  wget kegel.com/wine/winetricks
  sh wintricks vcrun2003
(no longer needed with current wine, btw) got me to the next error,
  err:shell:SHCoCreateInstance failed (0x800401f0) to create CLSID:
        {208d2c60-3aea-1069-a2d7-08002b30309d} (My Network Places) IID:

ret=6d3b90d8

That file contains

java.lang.InternalError: Could not bind shell folder to interface

...

which jibes well with the app needing My Network Places to install.

Fun fun fun.  So I don't really have much help for you, sorry.
Get somebody to implement a stub My Network Places, maybe :-)  I'll file a bug.
