According to the official WineHQ FAQ:
MSI files cannot be run directly, you need to use the msiexec program. msiexec is a tool for installing .msi packages. MSI files can be installed in Wine from the terminal like this:
wine msiexec /i whatever-filename.msi
Alternatively:
wine start whatever-filename.msi
That will then run the MSI program the same as if you had double-clicked it in Windows.

The/i
option is for installing, if you want to uninstall later, run:wine msiexec /uninstall whatever-filename.msi
or the equivalent short form of the same command:wine msiexec /x whatever-filename.msi
