My best guess is, if you can lay hold of a native msvcrt.dll (or
possibly the installer installed one) and make sure Wine is configured
to use it, you might have slightly better luck.

If none of the debugmsg possibilities jumps out at you as maybe having
to do with the problem you are having, +relay is the most generally
useful:  in effect, it shows what the app is asking for from Wine, and
what it is getting back.

Probably, try the installer again (with native msvcrt).  Probably, if it
succeeds, it will add entries to the registry you will need to get the
installed program to run.  Unless you know how to export the necessary
entries from your friend's registry and feed them to wine's regapi
program.
