wine users - Aug 2009 - problem installing Therm 5.2 and cc32inst.exe

I'm trying to install Therm 5.2 from
http://windows.lbl.gov/software/therm/therm.html but I see:

Code:
$ wine THERM52Setup.exe
fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly
L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
xcb_io.c:452: _XRead: Assertion `dpy->xcb->reply_data != 0' failed.
wine: Assertion failed at address 0xffffe410 (thread 0009), starting debugger...


I googled and found hints that I need to use wine-tricks but when I tried, I
see:

Code:
$ winetricks cc580
Executing sha1sum --status -c
/home/dhoworth/winetrickscache/cc32inst.exe.sha1sum
Executing wine /home/dhoworth/winetrickscache/cc32inst.exe /T:c:\winetrickstmp
/c
kscache/cc32inst.exe: xcb_io.c:452: _XRead: Assertion
`dpy->xcb->reply_data != 0' failed.
wine: Assertion failed at address 0xffffe410 (thread 000b), starting debugger...
...
Executing wine /home/dhoworth/.wine/drive_c/winetrickstmp/comctl32.exe
wine: cannot find

Note: command 'wine
/home/dhoworth/.wine/drive_c/winetrickstmp/comctl32.exe' returned status 2. 
Aborting.



I've used wine before for various things and it has just worked :)  I just
installed it on this Suse 10.3 machine using YaST and it says it is wine-0.9.44.
I can provide the full debugger log if wanted but I suspect this is something
obvious that I'm just not seeing :( I should probably mention that I'm
using ssh to access the machine.

Thanks, Dave

That version is ancient. Upgrade to the latest development release.

security updates.
Wine is not one of those applications. It's being released every 2 weeks and
the only "stable" versions of it (wine-1.0.x) were guaranteed to run
only few targeted apps.

Upgrade to the latest Wine version (wine-1.1.26) or at least (wine-1.1.25). Then
try your app again.
