? Is this really a windows 2.0 app?  Is this what you want wine to tell
the app if it asks the windows version??

osversioncheck --winver win20
MajorVersion: 2
MinorVersion: 0
BuildNumber: 0x0
Platform: Win32s on Windows 3.1
CSDVersion: 'Win32s 1.3'

(osversioncheck is a little winelib program.  see <wine>/programs).
Maybe it is nothing to do with it, but maybe it is confusing the app.
Is that maybe a typo for win2k?

osversioncheck --winver win2k
MajorVersion: 5
MinorVersion: 0
BuildNumber: 0x893
Platform: Win32 on Windows NT/Windows 2000
CSDVersion: 'Service Pack 2'
