Some programs don't like to run via a full path; what happens if you cd 
to the Brilliant Photo directory first, then run

wine BrilliantPhoto.exe

?

I have a couple of apps that run fine when the app is run from within 
the program directory, but fail to run otherwise (even from the program 
menu link created by Wine during the program's install).

HTH,
