[Wine] Re: .EXE refuses to launch after upgrade to Wine 1.3.29

[Ricochet@sg]

Good idea. I have upgraded to 1.3.33 but the error persists (again a fresh install....):

[eric at Prajna ~]$ cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Radio-SkyPipe\ II/
[eric at Prajna Radio-SkyPipe II]$ wine --version
wine-1.3.33
[eric at Prajna Radio-SkyPipe II]$ wine start SkyPipeII.exe 
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100

NOTE: this is a VB program. Is there any tricks to ensure that a VB program runs propely? Some DLL or what?
