I'm not sure if this is 100% the same issue as the bug report, but it is the
same problem as in the comment by Adam Piątyszek.  This has also been reported
by hasi at

This problem occurs in wine-0.9.56 with Microsoft Word 2000 and 2003.  Assuming
Microsoft Equation Editor is selected during installation of MSOffice, simply
launching Word and going through the following Insert->Object->Microsoft
Equation 3.0, the following dialog appears:

---
The server application, source file, or item cannot be found.
Make sure the application is properly installed, and that it has not been
deleted, moved, or renamed. [OK]
---

Equations in Word are not usable because of this (slightly problematic for
scientific publication).  A different message occurs if you try to edit an
equation.  The dialog after double clicking on a pre-existing equation is:

---
Microsoft Word can't start the application required to open this object.
An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly.  Would
you like to repair this feature now? [Yes] [No]
---

Clicking on either [Yes] or [No] causes the first dialog to appear again.

I'll attach the logs as the fixme and err messages are bit different.
