[Wine] HMRC Employer's CD won't launch

[jim.hitch]

Hi

I've just bought a new laptop and installed Kubuntu 8.04. 

The HMRC is the UK equivalent of the IRS and issue a CD to help with taxes. In the past this has worked pretty well under Wine and on another laptop of mine was no trouble (with the same version of both Linux and the CD)

It appeared to install OK but now won't launch.

In the terminal I initially got this

fixme:powrprof:DllMain (0x7e1c0000, 0, 0x1) not fully implemented



so made a wild guess and copied MSVCP71.dll into the System32 directory.

If I run it again in terminal all I get now is


Code:
fixme:powrprof:DllMain (0x7de60000, 1, (nil)) not fully implemented
fixme:powrprof:DllMain (0x7de60000, 0, 0x1) not fully implemented



If I paste the other dll files mentioned above into the System32 directory then the error is 


Code:
fixme:powrprof:DllMain (0x7de50000, 1, (nil)) not fully implemented
fixme:powrprof:DllMain (0x7de50000, 0, 0x1) not fully implemented



before going back to 


Code:
fixme:powrprof:DllMain (0x7de60000, 1, (nil)) not fully implemented
fixme:powrprof:DllMain (0x7de60000, 0, 0x1) not fully implemented



on further uses of the command.

Any help would be great.
