As I already explained, 'fixme' messages do _not_ relate to serious
problems. If your program hangs or crashes, it is nothing to do with a
'fixme'.
Now, please try the following:
$ mv ~/.wine ~/out_of_the_way
$ winecfg
$ cp ~/out_of_the_way/drive_c/windows/system32/mfc42.dll \
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
$ cp ~/out_of_the_way/drive_c/wbs30r10.exe ~/.wine/drive_c
$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c && wine wbs30r10.exe

Exactly this method works without a hitch here. If it doesn't for you,
I would either question the origin of your wine package (where exactly
did you get it from?), or the reliability of your system.
