--- Comment #1 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
confirming. Found an archived 'backup' online, thanks for still seeding legacy software.

The app checks for the existence of 'c:\windows\system32\$winnt$.inf' (for whatever reasons) and doesn't handle failure well.
Use the following workaround to create an empty placeholder:
--- snip --- $ wine cmd.exe /c "echo.>%windir%\System32\$winnt$.inf" --- snip ---
After that the app runs fine - it doesn't even open the empty placeholder.
$ wine --version wine-1.7.14-185-g5cf20ce

--- Comment #2 from rupamede@gmail.com --- Thanks for the resolution, but I do not know how to to create an empty placeholder... I used terminal and it got me as far as the C drive using $ wine cmd.exe /c but then echo.>%windir%\System32\$winnt$.inf gets me nowhere ir just says path does not exist. Could you help? I'm using crossover. Thanks

Please copy/paste the whole line verbatim, don't separate things if you don't know what this command and parameters actually mean.
--- snip --- $ wine cmd.exe /c "echo.>%windir%\System32\$winnt$.inf" --- snip ---
You open a terminal and get a prompt - this is what '$' at the beginning of the line denotes. Then you just copy paste the rest of the line as-is and press ENTER.
This assumes that either the default prefix is used or the WINEPREFIX environment variable is properly set to the prefix where the app is installed to.
You are mentioning CrossOver. This is usually not supported here. If you have created a CrossOver 'bottle' you need to execute the command within the environment of the bottle/prefix.

--- Comment #4 from rupamede@gmail.com --- Hi Anastasius Thanks for your answer. In the meantime I was able to fix it just by copying the $winnt$.inf file onto the C drive within the bottle in crossover. I nearly dropped dead when I saw it working!!! Thank you so much for your help. This really is great for me!! have a good day!
