Additional Comments

Fresh wine-prefix. Doesn't matter which windows version is emulated, nor if wine's set for "emulate desktop" or not. Installation works fine, first start tells something about "missing admin rights for first start" - this is the "SolidShield" "copy protection" at work, which can be circumvented by the various "nodvd" cracks out there (run them through virustotal.com first!). Then there's issues with "msvcp80.dll", which can be solved by installing vcrun2005 via winetricks. But even with that, it bombs out with "dryad_get_error: (null)", which hints at a sound problem according to a forum of the software vendor. I guess it's a regression, because I do remember playing this a couple years ago with 0.9.xx, but I sure can't be arsed to do regression testing for this game (best guess is alsa vs. oss anyway).
