Unfortenately, the game won't start because of an error ("Exception EAccessViolation dans le module AACW.exe dans 00004054. Violation d'access a l'adresse 00404054 dans le module 'AACW.exe'. Lecture de l'adresse 00002E9B.) followed by "Runtime error 216 at 00403E8A". As far as I know, Wine doesn't need a seperate DirectX installation but I tried to follow a tutorial I found over at AGEod's forums which adviced winetricks to install DirectXe. Unfortenately, DirectX installation fails as well:

You removed the Z:\ symlink, so Wine can't find the executable.
