[Wine] Is there a way I can get an unsopported app working in Wine?

[Harambe]

I use Ubuntu 8.0.4
I have XP installed in another partition.
I want to use Ability Office version 5 from Ubuntu.
I have installed Wine, and this seems to work - I can run other Windows apps through it.
I can install Ability fine using Wine, and it's small launcher app works fine - but when I run the proper Ability programs I get loads of missing DLL errors.

Is there anything I can do to correct this issue, or is it really not worth my while attempting anything ?

I can't find any notes in the documentation along these lines.
