Yes, it refuses to run on non-german versions.

There is no workaround. Look at:
http://www2.service.t-online.de/dyn/c/06/50/28/650286.html
: - Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000 Professional oder Windows XP (jeweils
:   deutsche Version; unter anderssprachigen Windows-Versionen ist 
:   keine Installation möglich)

It clearly states that no installation on a non german windows version is
possible...

It may be broken and anyways it is strange, but it does not abuse the
windows API and I think wine should support it.
