Apps are not run via winecfg.

Follow these instructions for running the installer:  http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-f3515230c198befe0279d32c448d9c8da63be66f

Try it first with autorun.exe, but if that doesn't work, you'll have to figure out which file is the real installer (possibly autoexec.exe or instalar.exe) and run that.

From the contents of the cd, it looks like the app is going to try to install Flash, Shockwave, Windows Media Player, and vb6run; that may fail. If the installer dies trying to install any of these, install whatever failed with winetricks. http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

If you run into problems, post terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log
