Glad to hear that you have sorted out the problem with a new version of the application. I think the general rule is that if wine doesn't provide some component (such as mfc and vc++ 80), using winetricks to install the additional components is preferred over installing application's bundled additional installers.

As for debugging problems with applications, the most useful and concise
advice I have read is actual this - I looked for it earlier but couldn't find it because the web page has a strange name :-):  
http://www.winehq.org/site/developer-cheatsheet

it explains +relay and +snoop quite well, which are the first two things one normally do, I think.
