For what it is worth, it runs if you use winetricks with vcrun2015. Definitely some bug in wine's msvcrt dll.
Legend! that makes it usable. i realise this app is probably not used much on wine so the prompt fix is a very welcome surprise.
anyone else who has issues with MSVCRT i hope this workaround works for you too.
