As a newbie I do not understand how you are trying to run your progam.. I recently got a karaoke hoster progam emulated using codeweaver crossover which uses wine.. I installed it into the c_drive which is generated when you first run wine.. The hoster uses the access data base so I had to install a few things first
IE 6.0
Jet40SP8_9xNT.exe
MDAC_TYP_2.81.EXE
vbrun60sp5.exe
Then I had to add one dll into home /user/.(dot) wine c_drive/Windows?system32
Other programs might reqire directx 9 or netframe1.1 or 2.0
I had to use a win98 platform
It was a project but running under etch with a 3.2 cpu it kicks ass and runs faster and is more stable than windows esp XP
Crossover has abeta version you can try for 60 days..
If you are interested here is a link to a tutorial I wrote on it
tut
Maybe this will give you some more ideas....
With these installed most windows programs will run under linux and put the right dll's necessarry into the system32 folder when installled .
