Hello,

With a new prefix and today's Wine it crashes more often than not.  It is
rumored that some users do not experience this crashing.

Different execution/thread timing can cause all sorts of hidden bugs to
surface.
Wine can't replicate exact threading/timing behaviour of Windows by design.

I looked again and I still hold up my analysis.
The app accesses splash screen (label control) across threads without proper
synchronization to the threads which owns the control (Window).

The only workaround I can give you is to pass "--nowelcome" command line
parameter which basically omits the splash screen at all, preventing the buggy
code.
Please report back if that works for you.
Otherwise I fear this is something Wine can't fix.

Again: If something works in Windows this doesn't mean it's properly
implemented nor bug free. Windows tolerates lots of brain damage, hiding many
app bugs.

Regards
