Backtrace 7.18 (Slackware 15.0)

Hello everyone,

I got a request from the German ubuntuusers.de Forum to reproduce a bug with a
Television app for Germany's Sky Television which is is a pay-TV channel.

Installing seems to work fine in a fresh prefix on Slackware 15.0 but when
running it is throws a backtrace.

Steps to reproduce (please adjust paths accordingly):
mkdir WineApps/SkyWOW
export WINEPREFIX=/home/mwagner/WineApps/SkyWOW/
cd Downloads/
wine WOW-Windows.exe 
cd
/home/mwagner/WineApps/SkyWOW/dosdevices/c:/users/mwagner/AppData/Roaming/WOW/WOW/
wine WOW.exe

During the installation it complains about a missing Aero-Theme (will attach
screenshot later) and throws a backtrace which I am attaching.

Happens when set to Windows7 in winecfg. With Windows 10 the Aero-Theme message
doesn't show, player launches but throws a backtrace as well.
