--- Comment #3 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello Susan,

I assume you attempted the installation in clean (new) 64-bit WINEPREFIX.
Did you install any native components/changes overrides (winetricks recipes)?

--- snip ---
WINEDBG=+all
--- snip ---

The environment variable is named 'WINEDEBUG'.
'winedbg' is a debugger (application).

Also passing 'all' is not very useful (omits call site info) so don't do that
unless explicitly requested by a developer.

There is no reason to believe that the problem is in 'mountmgr' component.
FIXME messages are not bugs in most cases.

Installing in 64-bit WINEPREFIX isn't really useful for pure 32-bit app.
You are using the 32-bit edition of DNS (see 'Program Files (x86)' path).

There are still some problems with 64-bit prefixes and installing in one will
just harm yourself:

* DNS 12 can't be installed in default 64-bit WINEPREFIX which is reported as
'Windows XP 64-bit'

See:
https://nuance.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6925/~/system-requirements-for-dragon-naturallyspeaking-12

'Windows Vista' would be the first version that supports 64-bit.
You didn't mention that you've changed the Windows version for the prefix so I
wonder how you managed to install that thing if the installer refuses 'Windows
XP'?

* broken .NET 4.0 installation (known)

* InstallShield 32-bit stub and 64-bit server doesn't work well (despite some
bugs fixed) -> ISBEW64.exe crashes

In the end you're better off with a 32-bit prefix (WINEARCH=win32).

Anyway, please provide the exact steps you've done to install that thing in
64-bit prefix (my tests show it doesn't install in 64-bit WINEPREFIX at all).

Regards
