I am a little puzzled by the sequence from this and the statements 
below. Did you get the above error message after going into winecfg and 
changing it to use the native msvcrt DLLs? Or does the statement below 
mean that you didn't get that far to get these error messages?

You would set an environment variable by executing the command:
export WINEDEBUG=+loaddll

That is a little unusual, since this is normally one of the few native 
DLLs which can safely be used globally. I doubt the DLL is directly 
causing the program to not start, so I guess maybe a correct msvcrt DLL 
is causing ACT to break somewhere else in the program.
