wine users - Sep 2008 - No success running SigmaPlot

Hi!

I strongly rely on SigmaPlot for scientific graphs, actually one of the few 
windows programs I still need. I use a licensed copy but a trial version can be
downloaded here:
http://www.sigmaplot.com/products/sigmaplot/

I could install several versions of SigmaPlot (8, 9, 11) but I always get the
same error when I try to run it:
 
"An error occurred during an OLE operation
sp~pagwf.dll gpu_doc.cpp(671) 8e000010"

After clicking Ok next message says:

MS Visual C++ Runtime Library
"Runtime error! Program:C:\programas\sigmaplot\spw9\spw.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual
way"

This is what I get in the terminal:

$ wine C:\\programas\\sigmaplot\\spw9\\spw.exe
fixme:ole:CoGetTreatAsClass ({6e73ca4a-ce63-11cf-b59c-0000929132ce},
0x33f6f0)
fixme:ole:DefaultHandler_SetContainedObject ()
fixme:storage:GetConvertStg unimplemented stub!
~$ fixme:ntdll:RtlNtStatusToDosErrorNoTeb no mapping for 8000000a


For installation, I followed the steps described in the App DB:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=13015

This is what I tried so far (Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron):
-I executed vbrun60sp5.exe
-Next, vc6redistsetup_enu.exe. After extraction I executed
vcredist.exe. It took some time to display the following message:

$ wine c:\\programas\\MSVisualCRuntime\\vcredist.exe
fixme:setupapi:SetupDefaultQueueCallbackW notification 262144 params
33f9ac,0
err:setupapi:SetupDefaultQueueCallbackW copy error 0 L"C:\\windows\
\temp\\IXP000.TMP\\msvcp60.dll" -> L"C:\\windows\\system32\
\msvcp60.dll"
fixme:setupapi:SetupDefaultQueueCallbackW notification 262144 params
33f9ac,0
err:setupapi:SetupDefaultQueueCallbackW copy error 0 L"C:\\windows\
\temp\\IXP000.TMP\\oleaut32.dll" -> L"C:\\windows\\system32\
\oleaut32.dll"

It did not work. Then I tried copying ole32.dll, oleaut32.dll and rpcrt4.dll
from my windows
partition to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32

I will appreciate any help.
Thanks,

The instructions in the AppDB say to install DCOM98. The dlls in DCOM98 are for
Windows 98--they are not the same as the XP dlls, which is what I assume your
Windows partition is.

I tried both. I first used DCOM98 running wine in Win98 mode. Then I tried WInXP
mode with libraries from my windows partition, with similar results.
Any other suggestion?
