While I do have licensed copies of just about all versions of Windows I see this in the Wine documentation that you pointed me to: "A major goal of Wine is to allow users to run Windows programs without having to install Windows on their machine. Wine implements the functionality of the main DLLs usually provided with Windows. Therefore, once Wine is finished, you will not need to have Windows installed to use Wine."
That being said / read I was able to get my first application (Cadkit or Ckpp.exe) running by copying the real Windows 2K ddeml.dll into the system directory.
There is a slim possibility that putting a link into the windows/system directory pointing to the Wine version of the DLL would allow it to work. That it imply a rather broken Windows program.
The other application (KOPS.exe) still isn't co-operating with Wine, nor is it complaining about any specific file that I can copy into my Wine directory to help make things better. It's still saying: "fixme:actctx:CreateActCtxW stub", followed by a whole mess of "err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)!" messages. Does anyone know what Wine is trying to tell me and how I might go about overcoming the problem? Thanks,
The "fixme:actctx:CreateActCtxW stub" means that while Wine has the function CreateActCtxW, the "stub" message means that there is nothing in the function that does anything. And you can see that here:

Oddly enough, many programs will continue to operate okay with a remarkably large number of stubs in the Wine code. But in your case, it is having a bad effect. About the only thing that can be done is to actually write some code to at least partially implement that function. Since this is in the kernel DLL, you cannot substitute a Windows DLL.
