   What we need are the lines that come before. See:

   Many windows executables must be loaded at a specific address.
Unfortunately it seems that on your system this address is already in
use so that we cannot load the executable there. In the past this
happened regularly because we were loading all programs in a single
address space. So after loading the first program we were unable to load
any other program at that same address. Hence the suggestion to "Try to
run that file directly !" in the error message. But this is all a thing
of the past as now each application is loaded in its own address space.
   So there must be something else using the address that Wine wants.
It's strange because I don't remember people having this problem on
Solaris before. What you can do is run Wine in gdb and then type 'info
sharedlibrary' to get a map of the process memory and see what is using 
the address Wine needs. So you will also need to fid out where Wine
is trying to load the exe. You can probably get this info by looking at
the loader source, activating the relevant debug channels, or running
dumpbin (comes with VC++) on the app.
