Everytime i try to install steam via wine in terminal i get this error.

Jason@jason-desktop:~$ wine msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi
err:msi:copy_package_to_temp failed to copy package L"SteamInstall.msi"
fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030002 for L"SteamInstall.msi"


how do i fix this. i put the steaminstall.msi in the right directory. but still something is weird, and yes i'm new to linux in general.
