I assume file "Wine Debug" is full terminal output (second file
contains only
harmless warnings which are unrelated to your problem). From these lines:
melanie@atlasinstall:~$ wine /media/cdrom0/msetup4.exe
Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not
accessible.
Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is

...I think that you have problems with permissions. Try to execute the
following:
mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.old
This command will rename your ".wine" directory to
".wine.old". There
shouldn't be any terminal output at all. If this command give you errors
then
you have problems with permissions. If renaming was successful then your
permissions are OK, so we need to test farther; if so execute this:
wineprefixcreate
This command shouldn't give you errors. It will create clean
".wine"
directory for you. If it was OK with no errors, run your program as you did
before:
wine /media/cdrom0/msetup4.exe
And report results.
