What works
Software installs fine (I installed mine from a CD-ROM copy that I made to the local hosts HDD, by simply calling Setup.exe), follow through the installation wizard accepting all defaults. Upon installation wine does not automatically close, instead taking you to the program manager and allowing you to start the software.
Launching the software for the first time you'll be asked for some details about the first player/user and then be bought to the main-menu. Exiting this menu will now exit wine.
All mini-games are fully functional with sound and animations working without any issues.
What does not
Launching the title after closing it for the first time will result in a strange error about being unable to locate some bitmap asset files, causing the software to then force close.
Workarounds
Simply tell wine to launch into explorer (drive_c/windows/explorer.exe) and then start the application from the application menu, a new window will appear with the software running.
What was not tested
All features that I could see the software having were tested.

Additional Comments
The launching issue could be easily resolved with some additional configuration.
There is no real need to run this application in a VDI, as it is designed to run in a window anyway.
