Lexware Financial Office Pro 2015 does not work with wine

Today I received a free copy of a student-version of Lexware Financial Office Pro 2015 including a license key. Lexware is a financial accounting software which is easy to use and quite well suited for small German enterprises. I installed wine 1.6.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, which consumed almost half a Gigabyte of hard-disk. Then I tried to install Lexware. This simply didn't work. Searching in Google and winhq.org delivered similar results. So, in short, if you want or need to install Lexware on Linux, just forget it.
