It is probably irrelevant, but something is looking for
the visual C
8 runtime and not finding it. You can install VC80
runtime with
winetricks.
Well, the program comes with a setup for VC80 files (which I intentionally haven't installed to make Wine debugging easier due to non-tainting -- at least I hope this; please correct me if I'm wrong). However, the message doesn't disappear.
Glad to hear that you have sorted out the problem with a new version of the application. I think the general rule is that if wine doesn't provide some component (such as mfc and vc++ 80), using winetricks to install the additional components is preferred over installing application's bundled additional installers.
As for debugging problems with applications, the most useful and concise advice I have read is actual this - I looked for it earlier but couldn't find it because the web page has a strange name :-): http://www.winehq.org/site/developer-cheatsheet
it explains +relay and +snoop quite well, which are the first two things one normally do, I think.
