--- Comment #13 from Carl Ådahl carl.adahl@gmail.com 2011-02-09 03:37:41 CST --- I had the same issue and found out that I'd installed the Swedish version instead of the english/US ones. Directory contents:

When running wine PPTVIEW.EXE, it looks for a "1033" folder (english), which does not exist. The LANG="" trick didn't help either.
But I found a workaround! Simply rename your localized folder ("1053" in my case) to "1033".
$ mv 1053 1033 $ wine PPTVIEW.EXE
