That's part of mdac28. After installing mdac 28 the first window comes up fine for me. I'd advise you to try this on a complete new and fresh new ~/.wine (or preferably install in another WINEPREFIX) > > I will remember this. I was not aware that I can google class UUid and get the desired information. Hope I can derive such information for other applications which I plan to run through wine. First I will try this information and then raise query to wine community. Thanks for the another tip to run test applications in another wineprefix. I have just spiled current wine setup which was running few applications OK. OK I have to just repeat OK setup once again now not a big job since I have wine tricks with me and it has cached many downloads so its just a breeze. Thanks for ppl who developed wine and bridged a small gap for using linux in day to day use. Today Linux almost 99% suits to my requirements and I need only 4 to 5 applications from wine. Thanks to persons like u from wine community who help almost instantaneously to newbies like me and also guide them to get on theire feet. I will let u know results of new wineprefix and IBPump.exe soon. Best regards R. S. Patil
