--- Comment #16 from Robert Riches <rm.riches at jacob21819.net> ---
(I think I made a typo in comment #14.  I think it was May 24, 2015, not May
24, 2014 for the date I downloaded the newer installer.)

The May 24, 2015 installer does claim to complete the installation using Wine
1.7.44.  After installation, there are two executables: wcUSView.exe and
wcUView.exe.  Clicking the checkbox to start the application from the installer
runs the wcUView.exe executable.  While the wcUView.exe executable does not
appear to run properly, the wcUSView.exe executable appears to run mostly
correctly.  I believe that should be probably sufficient to mark this
installer-related bug as fixed--at least for that newer installer.

Austin, I have never heard of a requirement to 'cd' to the executable's
directory for any application in Wine or otherwise.  Thank you for the tip to
check "winetricks gdiplus".  I made a note to try that if I become aware of
anyone who is (wanting to) use it with Wine.

Reality at this point is that it appears quite unlikely anyone will ever
attempt to actually use this application under Wine.  There are more modern
web-based methods to accomplish essentially everything this application does. 
Unless I hear of user demand for this application, I don't plan to invest time
creating and maintaining an AppDB page for it or continue testing it.
