wine users - May 2010 - Can WINE read and work a .msi installation?

Brand new to all of this so bear with me if you would please.

Just dropped away from Windough$ and got into Ubuntu 9.10 (tried 10.04 but lots
of complications) and tried to do a couple of things in WINE, but to no avail.

One that I tried was installing the PC Suite for my Sony Ericsson W760i. It
would get about halfway into the install then stop, flash an error screen and
tell me to try again later. (Works fine in Win XP)

Would that problem be because PC Suite uses a .msi file for installation and, if
so, would there be a way get WINE to work with that .msi file or get the PC
Suite installed in WINE some other way?

Thanks for helping.

Thanks for the ref. Went there and followed directions. Did everything as
needed. Got so far in installation and this pops up:

The wizard was interrupted before PC Suite for Son Ericsson could be completely
installed.

Your system has not been modified. To complete at another time, please run setup
again.

It then sets for a few seconds and the "finished installation" window
pops up.
Eject cd. Go to Applications > Wine > Programs >Sony Ericsson > PC
Suite for Sony Ericsson > click on that. Wait about 20 seconds while wheel
spins and nothing happens. Read me now file also does not open.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for finding that link for me. I was about to go crazy trying to figure
out what I was doing wrong. Good to know I'm not totally unable to do things
right in my computer.

Guess I'll just have to wait for the XP Pro disc to get here and do it thru
VirtualBox instead.

Guess we can call this one SOLVED or CLOSED.
