I'm currently running Wine version 1.2.3.
Please upgrade to the latest development version and try again. If mfc42 is required use winetricks to install it. Also, retry in a clean wine prefix after upgrading.
It worked, the problem was solved by upgrading to version 1.5.8. There is still no sound in Rise of Nations, but that is a known error (see bug 9027); I'll see to running through that later. Sound aside, the game seems to be running; I'll do further tests and see to posting an update on the RON page later.
