Thanks Anastasius Focht for this super detailed answer. Here follows a little
addition to that topic.

The only MadOnion / Futuremark benchmark which cannot be directly installed at
a 64bit Wine 6.0 prefix is 3DMark99 MAX. The installer crashes shortly after
it's started. Maybe this is a different problem. And maybe this installer is
16bit and not 32bit (it really looks old).

My workaround was to extract (with 7zip) the content of the installer (it's
effectively a ZIP based self-extractor) into a temporary 3DMark99MAX called
directory. After that, the setup can be started properly and the installation 
finishes also correctly.

However, there is a warning (known problem) that Direct X 6.1 is not installed
and therefore the program refuses to start. All mentioned tweaks don't work for
me in a 64bit Wine 6.0 prefix. So for the moment the status of that program is
garbage. ;-)

Will try this out in a 32bit Wine 6.0 prefix.
