[Wine] winedos.dll question

I'm trying to install a Win95 vintage program, EWview, from a set of
three floppies in WINE 1.1.9, buy all I'm seeing is:

$ wine setup.exe
err:dosmem:load_winedos Could not load winedos.dll, DOS subsystem
unavailable
winevdm: unable to exec 'D:\ewview3.08.2\one\setup.exe': DOS support
unavailable

However, I would seem to have winedos.dll installed:

$ locate winedos.dll
/usr/lib/wine/winedos.dll.so

I've read the documentation, FAQs, HOWTOs and known bugs at WineHQ but
nothing mentions this problem.

Obviously I'm missing something, but what?
