Thanks, Daniel. I think the problem was initially one of trying to add
the installation program to the list in winecfg before I had actually
run the install. I have had a little luck with running Wine in an
emulated desktop. I'm getting closer! Still have a few hiccups with a
firewall message and a couple of other .dll files to track down.

Thanks again for your help!
