I just added an xmllite verb to winetricks for this, could you test it? http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn-history/r2047/trunk/winetricks You'll probably need to start with an empty .wine directory, else the installer will get confused by the xmllite.dll you copied in. (Don't worry about wine's copy of the dll, it's safely hidden in /usr/lib/wine somewhere. Wine does have a file in .wine/drive_c/windows/system32, but it's just a placeholder.)
