OK , solid progress here.  I now have NS7 prefered installed.

Steps needed : wine-cvs (20050305 9am CET) on top of wine20050211
  WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,oleaut32,rpcrt4=n" wine setup.exe

Setup complete without errors.

Dragon NS required riched20.dll , that copy from win98SE CD was deemed too  
old , prog closed cleanly.
copied riched32.dll and riched20.dll from win2k , this worked.

I again hit the error with setting sound levels as I did with V4, I now  
get:

  fixme:mixer:MIX_GetLineInfo Unhandled component type  
(MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_DST_VOICEIN)
fixme:keyboard:UnregisterHotKey (0x10080,1): stub
fixme:mixer:MIX_GetLineInfo Unhandled component type  
(MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_DST_VOICEIN)
fixme:mixer:MIX_GetLineInfo Unhandled component type  
(MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_DST_VOICEIN)

This prevents Dragon from initialising the user.

Gentrain.exe is now gentrain.dll so I cant use the nice little work around  
I found last time

This should not be a major problem but I need another way round . The mike  
level is correctly set, I jsut need to convince NS not  to try to mess  
with it.

Any suggestions?

Thx
