I guess it is a bug in wine 1.6: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.6/+bug/1383214

A fix has been recently released.

.msi runnables are for the windows platform not linux, but you might be able to run windows applications on your linux device using WINE (WINdows Emulator).

But WINE is not an emulator it is a compatibility layer, meaning it "translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly" so it's faster than emulation.

P.S. This method doesn't work for all programs especially newer ones
