Looks like a permissions problem. Ensure your Wine user has rw permission on

Pretty much no MSI-style installers are known to work at this time, due to missing interprocess windowing functionality. This is still under development. (Not that I understand why all these people are so obsessed with Office under Linux anyway... and every single one seems to ask the same question... and it doesn't help that we suddenly also got a guy here that insists on giving bad answers to all the newbie questions around there)
