I haven't used linux in a couple months right now.. but I believe you'd have to go configure it to detect ur CDROM (one of the most important components)… this article does a much better job at explaining it: http://spidertools.com/wine_setup.php
Okay, let's say the file is named "Install.exe" and is located in "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Diablo/", you execute the the folowing command
wine "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Diablo/Install.exe"
If you have all the DLL's needed, it should work, else, try to emulate a virtual desktop (with winecfg) with, at least, a resolution of 800*600.
