You might try to post a message similar to this one to wine-devel, and include the URL where the program may be downloaded and what wine writes to the terminal when you run the program. If you have a windows installation handy (by handy I mean one you can copy dll's from) you can try running the program with --debugmsg +loaddll and see if substituting a "native" (one from real windows) dll for one that is being loaded as "builtin" makes the program work.
