I don't know about Lindows. In regular Linux, you can log in in "safe" 
mode, which basically means no window manager. Then these kind of 
installer problems disappear. There appears to be some problem in the 
interaction with the window managers.

Baring that, perhaps another fix to try is to temporarily make changes 
in your ~/.wine/config file in the x11drv section, so that it has:
"Managed" = "N"
"Desktop" = "1024x768"

I have not actually tried that ;) So if you do it, maybe report whether 
it works :-)
