Hi, Pavel!

You are trying to run the Windows device driver (a virtual port 
redirector) included with the application.

Wine does not really support Windows drivers - although some may load the 
functionality just isn't there. The application may run on a COM port 
supported by the operating system (Linux, etc.)

The installation failure is what you should aim to fix. A winedevice crash 
should not stop the installation.
