WineDoors was not affiliated in any way with WineHQ, and whatever it did before it was abandoned is not supported here. 

Do not install any winetricks unless you know for a fact that they are needed by your app to run, and that means you know exactly what problem each one fixes. Clearly you don't, so don't install any.

The installer for your app. If you have more than one, pick one to start with. Run it in a clean wineprefix: no winetricks, nothing else installed. If there are problems, post console output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log
