Then use single or double quotes like always when working with spaces
in filenames or arguments:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,usp10,msvcrt=n" \
wine ".../Program Files/GoogleEarth.exe"

A full error message would be helpful.

Maybe your $DISPLAY is not set? Try

echo $DISPLAY

Are you perhaps logged into a box via ssh? Or is it just a terminal

xclock?
