You need to install it in Wine then. You CANNOT run most programs from a 
linked Windows Partition.  There are exceptions, like notepad.exe which 
store no information in the Registry or write Registry entries 'on the fly'.

Can you try installing Agent through Wine?

The correct location of Wine's 'fake' Windows file structure is 
$HOME/.wine/  (you can use ~/.wine as well, both should point to the 
same location.)  Are there files in that location?

This is NOT good.  Can you go to the $HOME/.wine/dosdevices directory 
and do an ls in a terminal session?
