Never mind that.  What does "wine --version" tell us?

Wine says no such thing.  That is winelauncher, whcih codeweavers sees
fit to install as a wrapper for wine to protect you from it.

This looks to me as if you have [DllOverrides] set for native first, but
you don't have a native ole32.dll.  Depending how old Codeweavers
Preview 3 is, the config file format may have changed, but I recommend
to have wine try builtin dlls first:


[DllOverrides]
"*"            = "builtin, so, native"

[AppDefaults\\juno.exe\\DllOverrides]
"msvcrt"       = "native"
"riched32"     = "native"

[AppDefaults\\netscape.exe\\DllOverrides]
"msvcrt"       = "native"

You might not have [AppDefaults] yet, and might still have IIRC
[DefaultLoadOrder] instead of the [DllOverrides] wild card "*".

That is just what works for me.

--debugmsg +warn is mostly noise.

If that doesn't work, you might try having each user do a

regapi setValue -- -force < winedefault.reg

I don't know where codeweavers puts that file.  Wine keeps it at the
root of the wine source tree.  (Or copy the .wine/*.reg files from a
user that works, but there might be a reason that won't work).
