Installation
To play this mod you need to have a previously installed a copy of Wing Commander Secret Ops, if you haven't, download Secret Ops starter pack from here, episodes are not needed for this install (but they not hurt).
Then download Standoff from here, game installs without problems from setup file.
Adding required DLLs
In order to run, Standoff requires the following dlls, put a copy of MSVBVM60.DLL and mfc42.dll into system32 directory on your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 directory. Without this game will crash.
Graphic Setup
Ensure that you install Standoff Chapter 4 or higher as it comes with a native OpenGL renderer that offer the best experience under Wine.
Direct3D mode is below a frame per second (at least on Nvidia Cards) so avoid it.
So when the launcher appears, select OpenGL, any desired resolution and, enjoy!

Secret Ops and Standoff installed as instructed.
secret ops works fine but standoff crashes on lauch. Wine window appears that reads "ship.iff out of sync. please rebuild dsrc\game\ship\ship.xmf".
Console debug information:
wine: Call from 0x7ef98e90 to unimplemented function MFC42.DLL.6467, aborting

Still installs and works fine.
> wine: Call from 0x7ef98e90 to unimplemented function MFC42.DLL.6467, aborting
Relating to that issue:
It seems that you where using a very old MFC42.DLL, any from your XP or Vista partition will do, also please check that you weren't using mismatching versions of both (do not mix libraries from two systems, example some from XP and others from Vista, that will break compatibility from inside). Also, keep in mind that other programs could have installed some other dlls that could lead Standoff to crash, so try also in a clean ./wine directory. That should to fix that.

P.S. I always install every game on its own folder.

Also please give me some info about your setup, like graphic card, ¿are you using prefixes?, ¿did you test get it working in DirectDraw mode?.

export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-standoff
(to create a prefix)
wine '/mnt/sdb5/Games/Secret OPS/secretopsfull.exe'
(to install secret ops)
wine '/mnt/sdb5/Games/Secret OPS/Mods/Standoff/stan_ep1-4.exe'
(to install standoff)
cp /mnt/sdb5/Games/Secret\ OPS/Mods/Standoff/Needed\ files/* .wine-secretops/drive_c/windows/system32/
(just copyed both dll files)
cd './wine-standoff/drive_c/Program Files/Origin Systems/Secret Ops'
(changed to standoff directory)
wine Standoff\ Launcher.exe

Only thing I did diffirently was:
-Used "env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wp_wcstadoff" on every command instead off using "export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wp_wcstandoff" once.
-Started the launcher without changing directory to ".wp_wcstadoff/drive_c/Program\ Files/Origin\ Systems/Secret\ Ops/". I really feel stupid about this. I have other games that require this before launch.
I can confirm that the latter was the root problem. I didn't have time to properly test, but the game seems to work.
