   In case you were mystified by the other answers :-)
   This is a classic problem and the solution is to not mix native
shlwapi.dll with builtin shell32.dll. To fix this try adding the
following line in your config file:
"shlwapi" = "builtin, native"


   Note, Google is quite nice for debuggin such things. Just search for
the message Wine gave you, here a search on 'shlwapi.dll.0(StrRetToBufW)
imported from shell32.dll' gives exactly two answers:

http://www.google.com/search?q=shlwapi.dll.0%28StrRetToBufA%29+imported+from+shell32.dll
