wine users - Dec 2006 - App intallation fails in Wine: Check your pif file

My wine installation works perfectly with many apps.
However, when I am trying to install one Win app (Parashara's Light) through
wine, I am getting the following error:

<errorcode>
16 bit DOS subsystem:
C:\windows\temp\dosshell.pif
Invalid program file name. Check your pif file.

The pif seems to be in some weird format. Cat produces following output:
cat "/[path to wine dir]/C-Fake Windows /windows/temp/dosshell.pif"
?C-Install DOS shell ??COMMAND.COM ?P?MICROSOFT PIFEX?qWINDOWS 386 3.0?h??d(#
WINDOWS 286 3.0!INDOWS VMM 4.0??7?PIFMGR.DLL2??

TerminalCourier NewP0,<g????????BB~?
</errorcode>

The program is Win95 app, I think. It has the standard win installer and the
installation completed succesfully, but after clicking "Finish" I get
the
error I posted above. Perhaps the intaller wants to open the command line fo
finish something - and maybe that is the part which is not working. Is there
such thing (commandline that emulates command.com) in wine? How does wine
handle pif files?
Any ideas for a workaround?
