Sorry 'bout that.  It looks like many people are starting to run into
this.  What happened is, win9X had an app called "start.exe",
so I added one to Wine.  WinXP made that a cmd.exe builtin command,
though, and got rid of the standalone start.exe.  Now apps
are starting to depend on windows not supplying a start.exe.

You can probably work around that by removing start.exe from
c:\windows\command.   One of these days we'll figure out
how to do that right.

Sorry, I can't help with the rest of your problem, but at least
I shed some light on the mysterious start.exe failure.
