Error with Wine in CentOS, but in Mint it was working?

I am trying to install .msi tightVNC from CentOS clean instalation

and this appears when I execute the command

#wine msiexec /i tightvnc-2.8.27-gpl-setup-32bit.msi

show:

msiexec:custom_action_server Failed to create custom action server pipe: 2

In Mint that was working fine, why in CentOS isnt working?

I am trying to study CentOS and using as my main OS because in Brazil government they are using that in servers where I work.

    At a guess, it may be because your Centos installation includes VNC and the port is already in use?

    You should always use "native" programs when they are available & all common network tools are readily available from the normal Centos / RHEL repositories.

    Everything for Centos / RHEL is tested for security and reliability. Using third-party software can compromise it and introduce bugs or even make it vulnerable to malware.

    Windows stuff should be an absolute last resort if there is no other possible alternative.
