Thank you very much chootia! That was the last missing ingredient to getting
ChemDraw 12 to work! I hope to post a test result in the AppDB when I have time.
(I'm in college now.) It was basically this: copy over msvbvm60.dll, install
ie8 via winetricks, do chootia's procedure in wine cmd using
"wineboot" for the restarts (many fail, but it worked anyways in the
end), run the installer, run the now extracted msi via WINE's msiexec, run
ChemDraw.exe! Save a file, and now anytime you double-click to open a cdx, it
automatically opens ChemDraw, even if it is in a non-default prefix! At least it
did that for me in Linux Mint 11 with Gnome, WINE 1.3.26.

Yippee!
