Terminal output of running 'wine WriteWay.exe' from installation dir

I've succesfully installed the current demo (downloadable from
http://www.writewaypro.com/aspfiles/download.asp ) of WriteWay. But when trying
to start it, it gives an error saying 
"Unexpected program error occurred (9000)
429 - ActiveX component can't create object

Only option is to exit the application.

Terminal output attached.

Please specify the Wine version you used. The app wants the FileSystemObject
from the Windows Scripting Host, which can be satisfied with winetricks wsh57,
with winetricks grabbed from SVN. WriteWay then fails with "Invalid procedure
call or argument" which seems to be a different problem.

@Andrew, I'm using Wine 1.1.42, sorry I forgot to mention it.

Should I do anything now to help analyze the problem?

Does that mean you can get the application fully running? Can you explain how
you do that? I would very much like this to work - even using workarounds :)

do 'winetricks mfc42'

Then set oleaut32 to native in winecfg, or run the app by

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="oleaut32=n" wine Writeway.exe

Hello,

can't reproduce with current version for download.
WriteWay version 1.9.3 starts fine in clean WINEPREFIX.

Reopen if still a problem if you manage to pick up an old version.

$ du -sh wwSetup.exe 
24M    wwSetup.exe

$ sha1sum wwSetup.exe 
37301ae7e4008202e95d372de8772f3aef8f5ce5  wwSetup.exe

$ wine --version
wine-1.5.3

Regards
