This is one of the broken apps that expects full path in the argv[0]. This is not always the case. You need to give it what it wants. In other words, you have to specify _full windows_ path when you start it. Ex:

Code:
wine 'c:\some_dir\program.exe'


Or

Code:
wine start /unix /home/user/Desktop/some_other_dir/program.exe
