          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
