--- Comment #1 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello Alexey,

--- quote ---
I tried to login as root and run wine, but this error still present.
--- quote ---

A message from a Windows application, stating 'requires administrative
privileges' has nothing to do with root privileges on Linux.

NEVER run Wine as root (su, sudo)! Wine doesn't require to be run as root.
You will screw your WINEPREFIX and possibly other things up.
If you have run Wine as root you need to:

--- snip ---
$ sudo rm -rf ~/.wine­­
--- snip ---

and then recreate the WINEPREFIX as normal user by reinstalling the app and
rerunning winetricks recipes.
If you used 'winetricks' script as root you might also need to:

--- snip ---
$ sudo rm -rf ~/.cache/winetricks/ 
--- snip ---

Again: Despite what an application says about 'administrative privileges' -
always run Wine as regular user.

The app needs at least .NET Framework 3.5 installed.
You could try with recent Wine 1.7.x version which ships newer Mono 4.5.x

If that doesn't work install native .NET -> 'winetricks -q dotnet35'

Additionally the app needs Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM)
tool installed, it searches for it:

DISM is part of Windows 7+ .. but one can download it separately.

Download: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5188
("Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) Supplement for Windows 7 SP1)

I tested with native .NET and the app starts fine, showing main GUI.
NOTE: If the app requires to work with binary Windows registry formats
(registry hives) at some point this won't work anyway.

Upgrade to recent Wine 1.7.x and run the app with _clean_ (new!) WINEPREFIX.
If you don't know how to do that, please visit WineHQ user forums
(http://forum.winehq.org/).
