All these installers do is install the data from the windows CD.
In the case of games available natively like RTCW it will use code from wine project to install the game and it will then apply the point releases and patches.
In the case of farCry is it will install the game and the patches. But will require wine or wineX to work.
I have only tried the ¨call of duty¨ one, but it works perfectly with wine.
I do run farCry with wine but I had to install on a windows machine and copy over. (PIA) Since my retail version is the spanish one.
