Mass Effect 3 Demo and Wine - Does not work

I did a few tricks with Origin and played around with the install. Wine can run Mass Effect 3, but unfortunately, Mass Effect 3 requires Origin to play and will always say Origin is not running and thus forcing Mass Effect 3 to close. You can get all the way to the EA logo video and to the main menu. The game also tries to download an update but it does not seem to work. Oh well.

Mass Effect 3 Demo and Wine

I did try it via Origin on Wine and the install doesn't work. As far as I can tell, the installer fails when it's trying to install nVIDIA Physx redistributable package even though I already have Physx installed. I'm not sure if installing games works on Origin via Wine since I copied my Sims 3 Teaser install from an XP box. I think that's going to be how I will try to get Mass Effect 3 working.
