wine currently only supports (officially anyways) running uncompressed
exeuctables.  Which means that this bug is not a critical, but more of an
enhancement, one that should be fixed though by 1.0.  If someone wants to run
one  scene.org's demos they should uncompress it.  IMHO it's not really a big
issue since it is only affecting a release group's demo, not anything major like
photoshop.  If uncompressing it is not possible for whatever reason (the most
likely being that the exe packer doesnt run under wine), then unless the program
is one that is interactive or automatic but serves a purpose, it's pretty much
tough luck for that program, unfortunately, although I do think it should be
fixed by 1.0, which is why I put target milestone.
