I have found that with some apps which don't run it is because for some reason the DLL's it needs are not found by it when it launches or it ends up using the wrong version. I have often managed to get these running by copying the DLL's to the same directory as the executable is in.
Try starting it up from a terminal. You will find the executable in a subdirectory of your home directory. When you start the terminal it will be in the root of your home directory. do this: [code] cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files ls [/code] note that there is a . ( dot) in front of the word wine. When you do ls it will show you further directories. Suppose you program is called Fireman then there will probably be a directory of that name. Do: [code] cd Fireman ls [/code] ( Choose the directory your executable is in ) when you do ls it will probably show a number of files. One will be the executable maybe called Fireman.exe ( or something obvious for your app.) then do: [code] wine ./Fireman.exe [/code] note there is a . (dot) in front of the / this time. See what messages you get about missing files. Let us know what they are.
