What works

Everything seems to work after some tweaks.

What does not

Out of the box, you cannot edit any fields and there's no validation. Native richedit20 and wsh56 fix that.

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

Main steps
Patching Wine 0.9.33 (optional)
Script to set up eFormFiller
10 commands of QuickStart

Main steps to setup and run eFormFiller successfully:

patch Wine with a small hack;
install native Dcom: sh winetricks dcom98;
install native VBScript: sh winetricks wsh56vb;
set windows version to win98;
install eFormFiller v2.5 itself
(using native ADVPACK.DLL);
copy native RICHED20.DLL into a system directory;
force Wine to load native RICHED20.DLL for the eFormFiller.

Patching Wine 0.9.33

This is not needed, but otherwise you won't get standard message boxes about whether do you want to save changes and the like.
The hack actually makes Wine don't return any handles for any applications at all and thus prevent normal functioning of some console Wine applications (for example winedbg):

--- a/dlls/kernel32/environ.c
+++ b/dlls/kernel32/environ.c

     }

     SetLastError( ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER );
     return INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
 }

To bring it live:

install GIT;
clone Wine source;

download the patch and apply it:

$ wget -nv http://193.219.43.130/%7Ewinetester/diffs/0001-kernel32-Temporary-GetStdHandles-fix-for-eFormFiller.txt 
$ git-branch eFormFiller master
$ git-checkout eFormFiller
$ git-am -3 0001-kernel32-Temporary-GetStdHandles-fix-for-eFormFiller.txt

build Wine.

Script to set up eFormFiller

Once Wine starts running, lets try installing some stuff.
S. Krasuckas uses following shell script for a clean install
under Wine 0.9.33 (which depends on winetricks script):

#!/bin/bash

# Set the folder where you have extracted eFormFiller setup archive:
EFF_SETUP_PATH=${1:-/tmp/eFormFiller25_2007_03_07/}

echo " * Extracting native RichEd20.dll from an MSI installer."  &&
  rm -rf ~/.wine/drive_c/richtmp/                                &&
  wine "$EFF_SETUP_PATH"/instmsiA.exe /q /c '/t:c:\richtmp\'     &&
  cp -pf ~/.wine/drive_c/richtmp/riched20.dll                    \
         ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/                       &&
  rm -rf ~/.wine/drive_c/richtmp/                                &&
echo " * Installing DCOM98"                                      &&
  sh winetricks -q dcom98                                        &&
echo " * Installing Windows Scripting Host"                      &&
  sh winetricks -q wsh56vb                                       &&

  wine regedit win98.reg                                         &&
  rm win98.reg                                                   &&

echo "   (Just close the app now)"                               &&
# This makes some changes to a registry so FormFiller later doesn't
# error about VBS.  Assume launched app as an indicator of success.
  wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ABBYY\ eFormFiller\ 2.5/FormFillerLight.exe &&
  echo " * Setup script finished successfully"                   ||
{
  echo " * Setup script failed"
  exit 1
}

As the former makes some global changes to your current Wine setup, it may be not approriate for every user.
There is a more kind version of the script which creates a separate Wine configuration directory (equal to a separate Windows setup) using WINEPREFIX environment variable and so isolates existing Wine applications from unwanted changes.

If you have your eFormFiller v2.5 setup binaries in a place other than /tmp/eFormFiller25_2007_03_07/, then set it as parameter number 1 of the script you choose.

10 commands of QuickStart

You can do installation using only several commands in your shell.
Prepare of setup binaries and installation scripts:

$ cd /tmp
$ wget -nv http://deklaravimas1.vmi.lt/eFormFiller25_2007_03_07.zip
$ unzip eFormFiller25_2007_03_07.zip

$ wget -nv http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
$ wget -nv http://193.219.43.130/~winetester/sh/Wine/install_eFF_using_winetricks_brutal_way.sh 
$ wget -nv http://193.219.43.130/~winetester/sh/Wine/install_eFF_using_winetricks_secure_way.sh

Install in an intrusive way:

$ sh install_eFF_using_winetricks_brutal_way.sh
 or
$ sh install_eFF_using_winetricks_brutal_way.sh /tmp/eff/eFormFiller25_2007_03_07/

Or in an unintrusive one (to use it, quit any running Wine applications before):

$ export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-eff/
$ sh install_eFF_using_winetricks_secure_way.sh
 or
$ sh install_eFF_using_winetricks_secure_way.sh /tmp/eff/eFormFiller25_2007_03_07/

Then run the app:

$ wine 'c:\Program Files\ABBYY eFormFiller 2.5\FormFillerLight.exe'
 or
$ wine 'c:\Program Files\ABBYY eFormFiller 2.5\FormFillerLight.exe' 'z:\mnt\antras\FR0001.mxfd'
