This is meant as generic instructions in case an AppDB entry for a certain program doesn't exist.

1. Make sure your Wine release is pretty recent. Current possibilities are:
• CodeWeavers Wine Preview simple, complete configuration
• TransGaming WineX, Wine version with special DirectX support, use this one for games.
• Misc. Wine packages/versions downloadable via WineHQ
2. Run winecheck (chmod +x winecheck; ./winecheck) to verify the most important aspects of Wine environment configuration
3. Run your program
4. In case of failure, try different builtin, native DLL settings: Run Wine with --debugmsg +loaddll to find out which DLLs are loaded as native or builtin ones. Then make sure appropriate native versions are in the c:\windows\system directory as configured in your wine config file, and then use either --dll DLL1, DLL2,...=n or --dll DLL1,DLL2,...=b to use native or builtin setting for certain DLLs, respectively.
5. In case of persisting failure, check out Wine Troubleshooting Guide and read all of the available documentation at WineHQ Support
6. If that doesn't help, then ask people on irc.openprojects.net channel #WineHQ or on the wine-users mailing list.
