Did you try "winetricks vcrun6"? It maybe a good idea to backup your .wine folder before, you can simply revert the changes by copying/moving the backup folder over the new .wine folder. An interesting question would be, under which locale your linux is running, and under which locale the server was intended to run. Without knowing that it's really hard to tell which locales to try. The linux command to find out, which locales are supported, would be $ locale #current locale $ locale -a #all supported locales http://codeandcode.blogspot.com/2008/02/locales-in-linux.html http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/53781 There's another user trying to run a private server, see http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21752 So there's probably a deeper issue apart from the missing dll and proper locale. If you really need it running right now, you may consider using VMWare or VirtualBox.
