Is there any tricks to ensure that a VB program runs propely? Some DLL or what? Not sure about that, unless you used a trick to install it in the first place, but it's impossible to check now since you've deleted your .wine (is it still in Trash?) I've found no info for this specific app on http://appdb.winehq.org The best solution would be to perform a regression test as explained on http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting (between wine-1.3.24 and wine-1.3.29) and report a bug Alternatively, you can reinstall 1.3.24, or compile it and use a custom wineprefix for this specific application (see FAQ for explanation)
