Screenshot of stack trace in error dialog

I am trying to use an application called GenuTax
(https://www.genutax.ca/Home/Download) with .NET 4.8 and Wine 8.12.

Once I created a 32-bit prefix and installed .NET 4.8 with winetricks the
application installs and runs successfully.  I was optimistic at this point.

At some point though the application wants to launch a browser to a certain URL
to log into an information portal.  At that point it fails with a
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException.

I have attached a screenshot (sorry for a screenshot, but I was unable to copy
the text from the dialog to be able to paste here).

There is a working iexplore.exe in this installation, so there should be a
browser for .NET to use.
