wine users - May 2006 - Freestyle Connect Home not running

I'm trying to run the above program (it's a blood glucose monitoring 
program for diabetics) and I can't get it to (nil excrementum, 
Sherlock!  ;-)  )

It seems to install OK and will open up, but I get a small dialog on 
startup saying "Run-time error '438'  Object doesn't support
this
property or method' and then the program closes.

Doing a wine connect.exe winedebug=+all gives the rather less than 
enlightening output :

fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub
fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects
fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub

And that's it!

The program claims to run under Win 95/98/NT/2000 and I have seen it 
running under XP - but trying these compatibility modes in Wine doesn't 
seem to have any effect.

I suspect, from the error, that this could be a problem with the VB 
runtime, rather than Wine per se.  Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance,

David Shaw

That should be
$ WINEDEBUG=+all wine connect.exe
