The reason this does not work under Wine is that the program uses some 
rather exotic features of Windows that are not in Wine.  Most, and I 
repeat most, of the program will run if you supply the missing routines 
from Windows.  I run only 6 and do not bother with 7 as it has an 
anti-use license.  To remove it just delete.  Under Wine you know, or 
should know, that there are no strange files written in /var for you to 
not find.
