Terminal output with WINEDEBUG=+relay

I am running Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit and wine 1.1.16.
I am running the command "wine /media/cdrom0/Setup.Exe" to begin the installer.

The main menu comes up normally, however clicking the listed options has no
effect. I can still select Install by pressing Alt-I on the keyboard.

The next step is to enter the serial number. After doing so, I again cannot
click the Next button (nothing happens), but can press Alt-N. That is when the
error message "Cannot load PidGen.dll" is displayed.

At this point I am unable to close the application (due to inability to click
menu items) and must manually end the running process.

There is an ERR listed in the terminal mentioning MFC42.DLL is not found. 

If I install the native mfc42.dll file from the Visual C++ 6 Redistributable (I
used winetricks), I still have to use Alt-key combinations to navigate the
menu, but then the game installs normally after entering my serial and plays
just fine.

Terminal output of WINEDEBUG=+relay attached.
