Hello,
I am trying out wine to make a Windows program run under MacOS 10.6.6. It is a program for meteorlogical use with a rather small community. You can download it for free here (you won't be able to use it without account):

So I open the installation file with wine (1.2.2) and choose "run direcly in ...Wine Files"
The installation starts but in the end I get this error message:
> Self-registration error

> 1. C:\windows\system32\Time32.OCX
> Module not found

I hit OK and the installation finishes. But, of course, the program doesn't work. When I try to open the .exe with wine, I get this error message:

Well, I am pretty new to Wine. From what I read, some Winetricks might help. But which ones, and how do I use them? When I select "Winetricks" in the menu, there is only an empty window. When I hit "Apply", I get the message "Winetricks was applied successfully" but noting more happens.
I have read the guide and FAQ but to be honest, I couldn't make much sense of it. Most of it refers to Linux.
Can someone help me?
Regards
