There's only one more step in this process then there would be
otherwise (line 3).  You can even leave out the first line.  It's
there for good measure.  If by 'your viewpoint', you're referring to
my comment about winetools, I don't see what the problem
is...winetools doesn't work anymore, and it's led to countless
troubles and duplicate, invalid reports.

There's no trial and error with the above instructions, you just run
it like it says.  I'm sorry you had trouble getting your vb-app to run
in wine, but I don't see how that applies to this situation.
