wine users - Mar 2007 - running sailors of the sky under wine. installs fine, wont run.

I installed SotS on Slackware 10.2. I went through the install and the
installer said I successfully installed SotS, the box at the end of the
installer is checked to run it when the installer is done, but nothing
comes up, and this is the output I get:

any ideas? It was supposed to have created and installed in 'c:\Program
Files\SotS Gold', but the dir is non-existant, even though the
installer installed everything there.

This sounds a lot like bug #5673. Did the actual copying of files go
fast (as in just one second)? Can you tell which installer this is (MSI,
InstallShield, Nullsoft)?
