I havn't forget to set WINEPREFIX. After installation a haved moved the winedir
to a new name. Starting the application gives me the error! 
Then i have patched the winedir name in the lnk file (only one char twice) with
emacs and rerun the app. Now it work again.
Could be that it is application depending. I don't know why the lnk file was
used in my case. I'm calling the simulator exe direct, but something in the
application needs (or calls) the lnk file.
The fragments (are not really fragments) are important for this program - maybe
others (the most?) without looking at lnk files.
