wine users - Feb 2009 - SteamInstall.msi results in "Error: Success"

Code:
$ wine start SteamInstall.msi
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the
specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found



Or by running outside terminal, I get the wine error dialog "Success"
with the red circle next to it and a little OK under it.

lol, "Error: Success"

Wine 1.1.4 64-bit
Ubuntu 8.10

Also, when I try steaminstall.exe, Steam installs properly up to the point that
it must update. Then it gets stuck at "Steam is looking for updates."
and does nothing.

Upgrade. Latest is wine-1.1.14

I tried running Steam while running Ubuntu in low-graphics mode. Games install
properly in low graphics mode. This leads me to believe there is something wrong
with the interaction between the Nvidia graphics driver and WINE.

Turning off xinerama and reducing the number of displays does not help. I would
like to try Steam using the Ubuntu-packaged Nvidia driver, but I cannot figure
out how to do this.

This said, I have not attempted to run any games yet.
