wine users - May 2008 - Movie Magic Screenwriter 6 Trial installs, crashes when run

This is on OpenSUSE 10.3, Wine 0.9.60, with a clean wineprefix.
I installed the trial version of Movie Magic Screenwriter 6. The install went
fine. When I try to run the program it freezes almost immediately after loading.
A box pops up telling me I have encountered OLE Error 80004001 and wants to send
an error report. If I click ok,  it opens Thunderbird and can even send an
email, though it is does not actually attach an error report.  At this point the
program has control of my display and I have to kill it with ctrl-alt-esc.
Here's the console output:

The free trial can be downloaded from http://www.screenplay.com/t-mmsdemo.aspx. 
Any suggestions as to things I should try before filing a bug report?

The service not loading seems troubling, no idea there.
But that UUID (if you google it) is associated with msxml, which you
can install with winetricks.

But the most important thing you could have searched for was an
existing bug report.  Turns out there is one!
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12297
says you can get indeed the demo running with
  wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
  sh winetricks msxml3
That help?

I should know this, shouldn't I? [Embarassed] As my penance I will
personally add it to the AppDB (which I did remember to search).

But I do have a couple of questions. When I ran winetricks to install msxml3 to
that wineprefix I got the same error message about the driver that wouldn't
load.

> err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"TPkd" failed to load
at the beginning, though winetricks then ran and installed msxml3 just fine, and
the demo does run now.  I'm wondering why, since I wasn't trying to run
the demo at that point. Is it simply because I was installing to that
wineprefix?

My second question comes from reading the bug report. I gather that
"TPkd" is related to a heavy-duty copy protection system that Wine
(probably) can't handle. I'm inferring from
> At least the demo can be used without the driver
that there's a pretty good chance that the full version of this program
won't work in Wine. Is that correct? Because if it is, I want to include a
warning to that effect in the AppDB (and not purchase the full version myself).
