Not sure about that, unless you used a trick to install it in the
first place, but it's impossible to check now since you've deleted
your .wine (is it still in Trash?)
I've found no info for this specific app on http://appdb.winehq.org

The best solution would be to perform a regression test as explained
on http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting (between wine-1.3.24 and
wine-1.3.29) and report a bug

Alternatively, you can reinstall 1.3.24, or compile it and use a
custom wineprefix for this specific application (see FAQ for
explanation)
