Additional Comments
I've needed, via winetricks, only vcrun2005 and vcrun2008. The installer completes without any problems. The version used was 2010 SP0.0 .

Some changes introduced in user SID mapping in 1.3.15 prevents SolidWorks to launch if it was installed before 1.3.15
A simple hack solved the problem :
env WINEPREFIX=your_solidworks_prefix sed -i "s/S-1-5-4/S-1-5-21-0-0-0-1000/g" $WINEPREFIX/system.reg

Pre-installation steps
1. Use recent version of Wine(tested with wine-1.7.4)
2. Download winetricks by following command
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
3. Install required components by following command
sh winetricks -q dotnet30 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 mfc40
4. Install additional components by following command
sh winetricks -q wsh57 msxml6 riched20
It will take some time because winetricks will download all above components
Installing
1. Go to SOLIDWORKSINTALLATIONMEDIA/swwi/data/
2. Run setup.exe
3. Configure your installation as you like and let installer copy all the files
4. At the end you'll be informed that installation has failed. You will lose your installed files if you acknowledge this, so start your favourite terminal (e.g. Konsole, gnome-terminal, xterm) and type
killall msiexec
The window will disappear and the installation is complete.
Known problems
1. No possibility to install service pack
There are several steps, which aren't required to successfully start SolidWorks, but help in some way:
