[Bug 7425] gothic 2 gold installs without problems but will not start

I just installed Gothic 2 (German "Limited Gold Edition") in a clean prefix
with wine-1.5.16 on arch64.

Gothic II (without addon) 1.30:
- Installs fine
- With vdfs32g.exe: Runs fine without music, minor issues concerning
resolution. Vdfs32g.exe seems to be working as intended (Before the game starts
there is a progress bar "initializing" something)
- vdfs32g.exe removed: Still working, no progress bar at startup
- Original CD and no crack used
So version 1.30 can be excluded I guess.

Gothic II (with addon) 2.60:
- Addon installs fine
- Copy protection doesn't work -> NoCD fix (2.6 GERMAN NoCD/Fixed EXE)

When starting the game Vdfs32g.exe crashes immediately: "Program Error, The
program Vdfs32g.exe has encountered a serious problem..."
You can close this window, then the game starts and runs fine.

With Vdfs32g.exe removed the game runs fine, as Xavier pointed out. I can also
confirm that with 'winetricks directmusic' and musicEnabled=1 there is an error
message at startup and the game closes.

I'll test this on Windows 7 tomorrow.
