wine users - Jan 2009 - How could I install Windows Installer 3?

Hi!

I have a problem: I've downloaded Microsoft Installer 3.1 from Microsoft
Download Center, but I unable to install it. The error message: the installer
found a newer version of service pack in the system, so there is no need of the
update.

I used WineTricks to install MSI 2.0, but the new installers need the latest
version. I tried to find solution for the problem via Google, without any
result. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 + Wine 1.1.12.

[ Sorry for my bad English :-). ]

Which apps fail to install?  Maybe we can fix Wine's
implementation of MSI to handle them.
