It seems that the more recent versions of Wine have 2 distinct modes:-  a 'native' mode (which he thinks uses genuine Microsoft DLLs) and some other mode which uses what he called 'fake' DLLs.  The native mode seems to be working.  It's the other mode that crashes.  I need to check if that's the same with the second customer but in the meantime, can anyone confirm if these two modes do co-exist these days?  It's very different from my older Wine which used only Microsoft DLLs AFAIK.  I should have some better info next week.

You can set this for each dll (in winecfg for example), it's not a
some kind of mode.
Have a look at the wiki for winecfg [1].
