Hi I have encountered the exact same bug in Ubuntu Hardy LTS 8.04 while trying to install Office 97 from scratch in Wine on a user account; I have encountered the bug on two different PCs. However this might help in finding the problem: on both of these PCs I had some users with the Word 97 installed from a previous version of Wine/Ubuntu (both installed fine under Ubuntu 7.04). Both of these previously installed Word 97s work fine after the upgrade to Ubuntu Hardy LTS 8.04. So the issue might just be specific to the installer.
