I don't know, but it's helpful to know what version to track down the bug. :-)

I'm using the latest development release. 1.3.6 I believe with Ubuntu 10.10 and
aim 7.4 and it doesn't work as stated above by the original poster. Installs
great but upon initiated of the program it crashes. Has aim ever worked with
wine?

Hello,

updating download link to AIM 7.3 one.
Installer crashes in the end which is a different bug.

The AIM app crashes on startup with heap corruption.
You can work around this with 'winetricks jscript' which lets the app start
fine.

Additionally make sure to remove the following libraries from app folder:

nspr4.dll, plc4.dll, softokn3.dll, nss3.dll

The app installs it's own Gecko engine which conflicts with the Wine provided
one (infamous unimplemented function nspr4.dll.PR_GetPhysicalMemorySize).

$ sha1sum aim73141.exe 
f104f0896942ad3822fa51b147caa724339422f7  aim73141.exe

$ wine --version
wine-1.3.22-78-g4b2bfb4

It's likely to be fixed in current Wine version. Please retest.

Created attachment 41028
  --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=41028
output for aim

(In reply to comment #8)
Jacek: No, it still crashes without a backtrace in wine-1.5.8-214-g6e60adb.
Output attached. jscript works around it.
