That is common, and probably doesn't convey anything useful. It can be 
reduced by setting a different environment vaiable, which I have 
permanently sent so I forgot to mention it.

relay=-relay=rtlentercriticalsection:RTLleavecriticalsection:rtldeletecriticalsection:initializecriticalsection:interlockedincrement:interlockeddecrement:kernel32

(all one line) That should filter out those messages.

Unfortunately turning on relay traces alters the breakage all too often. 
Makes debugging a real pain. Maybe if the relay messages are filtered 
out, it will go back to the original problem (but I doubt it).

It might be worth trying to run Wine emulating win2k. I know several 
programs that won't work without that.

Sure, I'll take a look, though I am by no stretch a Wine guru. Compress 
them with bzip2; that should make them substantially smaller. It may 
take a significant amount of time for bzip2 to finish the compression, 
so give it awhile.

You might be missing a font that the installer was expecting. If you 
have a copy of Windows around somewhere, try copying all the fonts from 
c:\windows\fonts into the corresponding Wine directory (assuming you 
haven't already).

I would suggest setting most of the DLLs to builtin by default. Had you 
tried the installer that way? About the only native ones normally used 
should be:
[DllOverrides]
"msvcrt"       = "native, builtin"
"mciavi.drv"   = "native, builtin"
"mcianim.drv"  = "native, builtin"
"msi"          = "native, builtin"
"*" = "builtin, native"

You can always add application specific overrides in the config file for 
applications that require it:
[AppDefaults\\dcom98.exe\\DllOverrides]
"ole32" = "native"
