This goes back a few months but I recall helping a guy who was trying to get ns8 german working (multilang in fact so it may be the same you have).
I advised him to he would likely get further with v7 , initially he persisted with his efforts on ns8 (and he seemed pretty capable) then came round to my way of thinking and got v7 sorted fairly quickly.
That's all I can tell you about v8.
If you want to try v7 I think I put some more info (wine version etc) in the wine app DB, plus you already have my posts here it seems.
Sorry I cant be more help , but I am pretty sure the rec. engine is just the same and you probably would not get any than some interprocess tweeks that wont be of any use on Wine , and maybe some install/security headaches.

Hello all,
My machine: Linux-gentoo, wine 20050725
I'm quite new to wine, just installed it in order to use dns8, of which I have the french version. I looked at recent threads on this list and have been more or less hopeful, but right now I have had no success; here is the log of my last attempt with the command "wine setup.exe":

The eighth line of this seems to be tne interesting one; what would this InstallDriver and this ROT table be? Can I find them somewhere? Any hope still? TIA,
