actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
If you read the command I gave then you will see what I mean.

I have NO WAY of knowing exactly where you have mounted the CD on your
system. In the linux world, each system is slightly different so we use
conventions like that.

You should really watch about running commands without reading and
researching them at least a little first.

you need to replace /path/to/setup/exe with the path to the setup.exe
that you run to make the program install. You can mount this literally
anywhere on the system (except in /proc) so the path could be anything
at all. I hoped you would use some fuzzy logic and adapt te command to
fit your system.

so for example if the CD is mounted to /media/CD_i_like_to_use
and the installer is named setup.exe
then the command would be:

wine /media/CD_i_like_to_use/setup.exe

yours will NOT be this. I am just showing a ridiculous example to
highlight how flexible the system is and how you need to apply some
analytical knowledge to run the app in the terminal.

the command you need is wine which you have isentified, yu onow need to
identify the  location of setup.exe / install.exe (again, I have no way
of knowing what the exact filename is) to kick off the installer

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2114

Shows that it has issues running and that you should set the system to
vista in winecfg to hel pit run.

I also suggest you get the latest wine from the wine repo and not the Ubuntu one:

You may luck out here but who knows you may strike gold.
