Which runtimes are missing and how to fix this problem hasn't been stated, though, even though this seems to be a common problem for Linux users.

I then tried configuring Wine to run all the necessary files as Native then Builtin, and while the program still doesn't run, it now gives a different error:

So I decided to ask and see if people with more Linux and Wine experience than I have can figure out how to make this program work.

You might try filing a bug report for the issue, but do so with a clean prefix and no dll overrides.  Provide the link to the download and a description of the steps taken to reproduce the problem.   Attach the terminal output if there is any.
