HTML-Kit still crashes with Access Violation

$ wine --version
wine-4.11

My System:    
Host: pc2019 Kernel: 4.19.49-1-MANJARO x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 8.3.0 
Desktop: Xfce 4.13.4git-be04da Distro: Manjaro Linux 

I used HTML-Kit for many years and it would be nice to have it from time to
time.

First I made sure I was in 32bit mode:
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine winecfg
- and I selected Windows XP as the operating system

Next, I downloaded HKSetup.exe (the original, free version, HTML-Kit 292)

$ cd ~/Downloads
$ WINEARCH=win32 wine HKSetup.exe

I've tried two ways of launching it:
$ WINEARCH=win32 wine 'c:/Program Files/Chami/HTML-Kit/Bin/HTMLKit.exe'

And, on http://www.htmlkit.com/support/docs/pages/H000134.html is says:
"Change to the HTML-Kit/Bin directory and run: wine HTMLKit.exe /linux"

So I did:
$ cd '/home/design215/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Chami/HTML-Kit/Bin'
$ wine HTMLKit.exe /linux

Either way, the program opens and looks fine. I can create an html document and
save it. 

But, as soon as I open Edit > Preferences, or make any changes that get saved
in the preferences file, the program crashes and I get a dialog box that says: 
"Access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000"

I close the dialog box a bunch of times and it keeps appearing, sometimes with
different numbers like 705F4554 instead of 00000000. 

I don't know if this helps any, but HTML-Kit saves its preferences in the
Windows Registry. I think it does this for security so no one can easily get
the passwords to all of the web sites you've saved (unless you know where to
look).

Is there something that needs to be installed for programs to be able to modify
the registry?
