Not critical. In the future, please test using stable/development wine
(currently 7.0/7.12) and include a download link, if available.

Confirming, using Xerox GlobalView 2.1 (from
https://winworldpc.com/product/xerox-globalview/21-for-windows):

$ sha256sum Xerox\ Globalview\ 2.1.7z 
35363dc76e979a827d279531567234ff8831909b26ad650f0bd18f2535392e06  Xerox
Globalview 2.1.7z

$ du -sh Xerox\ Globalview\ 2.1.7z 
56M    Xerox Globalview 2.1.7z

Accepting all defaults through the install, then running C:\GVWIN\GVWIN.EXE, I
get the same error as OP (even after setting winver=win98 or winver=win31).

wine-7.12.

More info:
I'm running wine on ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver
I tried with regular wine & crossover office.
How can I load the DSD.386 file?

The old wine FAQ:

https://web.archive.org/web/20070223180620/http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/w...
> The goal of Wine is to make it possible to run Windows applications on Unix, not Windows drivers or VxDs.
> From the install destination:

$ file * | grep VxD
DSD.386:      MS-DOS executable, LE executable for MS Windows (VxD)
EVD.386:      MS-DOS executable, LE executable for MS Windows (VxD)
IIF.386:      MS-DOS executable, LE executable for MS Windows (VxD)
TIM.386:      MS-DOS executable, LE executable for MS Windows (VxD)
WEMU387.386:  MS-DOS executable, LE executable for MS Windows (VxD)
