Is it possible to install MSI files in WINE?

Heya. I've Suse Linux 9.2 Pro and am trying to install a program. The people who made it, bless them, made it a MSI file rather than an EXE file. I am unable to install it in either WINE or Crossover Office. I found precious little documentation for either, and what I did find didn't help.

Is there a way to get WINE/Crossover to run this file or is there a better way to do the installation?

Thanks!
