Debugging WINE is beyond my level of expertise. Those error message windows
that pop up also generate a log file, I think. You may be able to glean some
info from them.
However, just boot to Windows and install Word from there. It should be able
to run in WINE once you are back in Linux.
If you want to experiment, use winesetup to use "fake" windows and then try
to install Office again.
