When I click on the game it takes about 2mins before this appears: the programme setup.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in Wine. You may want to check appdb.winehq.org. If this problem is not present on Windows, report it at bugs.winehq.org.

First, Wine on a Mac is NOT Wine on Linux. 

Second, can you run the LOTR installer to create a logging file per the 
Wine FAQ at:

http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

Please post the log file to a web site like pastebin.com and please 
advise us of the URL so we can look at it.

The terminal program is located in the Applications folder, Utilties 
sub-folder.

If you have questions about navigating the terminal please ask.

Also, the results in the Applications Database are OLD and should not be 
relied upon (it states that on the page.)
