I know this is an old piece of software, but this was the first chance I had to try it. It didn't run under my legit copy of Win7, and I found an old forum that said it wouldn't run on any windows later than Win2k. So that's what I was using in WINE when I kept having my error. Using Win98 seems to work fine! One problem though, was that the installation killed a different app in WINE that was running under XP. I had to reinstall vcrun6 with winetricks to get that working again. Nobeltec is a vast ship-navigation and yacht management system so I haven't scratched the surface yet on just what works and what doesn't - but I have a good install! :D
