I think it should be opening the file as a VxD, : installing it if it isn't already installed. How that's supposed to work : is beyond me, but I'll see if I can learn about how it should be done. Wine can't run VXDs. Running with --winver nt40 shouldn't use the VXD. However the shrinker code is obfuscated to the top and last time I tried some shrinker file with nt40 wine failed too.
