Ian, just run the installer .exe under WINE - I've done this many
times before to extract Windows wireless drivers.

e.g. wine setup.exe

On one occasion the installer would not even install properly, and
would delete all temporary files when it failed and exited.  So I had
to let it unpack all files, and then leave it waiting at an OK prompt,
then browse the temporary folder where it had unpacked them to find
the .inf file.  I think that's pretty rare, though.
