Just wanted to chime in as another user who would really like to see
Troopmaster 2008 working in Wine.   I tried it out recently with Troopmaster
2008 (version 4.00e) running on Fedora 8 wine-0.9.58-1.fc8.   I also tried the
more recent wine-0.9.60-1.fc8 from "updates-testing."   It "almost" works, but
I'm seeing what I believe is the same scenario described by the original bug
report:

1) Start troopmaster with "dot net" enabled
2) Database is downloaded from FTP site.  (Focus moves to "download" window")
3) Download window closes, but focus never returns to original window.   As a
result no keystrokes or mouse events can be given to the applications and it's
effectively "hung"

I seem to be able to workaround that with the additional steps, but it's not
very clean...

4) Kill the wine process
5) Start Troopmaster again
6) When the error messages comes up about the previous abnormal termination,
tell it to go ahead and use the downloaded copy on disk.
7) From this point on Troopmaster functions normally, including updating the
database at the end of the session.
