Hokay, so basically something broke somewhere in Wine 0.9.6, and Wine 
developers can't track it down because I presume it's some setting 
somewhere in something that WineTools did - registry entry, DLL 
overrides, etc, etc. Now, of course, there's nothing that says a similar 
  setting might not be made somewhere in the Wine configuration by 
winecfg, and similarly hose things that effect running IE6, and be just 
as similarly undebuggable ...

I just tried to go back to my previous version - which was 0.9-1 (not 
0.9.4, sorry). Now IT gives me the same error message about needing 
128-bit encryption. So the new Wine must have hosed something in my 
.wine ... I really hope that the developers of Wine and of WineTools 
land on the same page someday. Wine desperately needs to be able to 
handle installing Windows apps without making users jump through hoops 
like the conglomeration in the app DB presents. WineTools is a step in 
that direction.

Back to Win4Lin. If dealing with Wine upgrades means trashing your Wine 
settings and starting all over from scratch each time, it's just as time 
consuming as upgrading a Windows installation ... :-(

End of rant. 'Bye!
