wine users - Oct 2011 - Traveller Heaven and Earth - Runtime error 481

I'm trying to get 'Heaven and Earth' running, but it gives me an
error

Run-time error '481':
Invalid picture

The program is available for download from
http://www.downport.com/wbd/HEAVEN_&_EARTH.htm

Installation is not straightforward - you need to unpack, configure Wine to run
as Win98 in an emulated desktop, install and finally unpack and manually
register mfc42.dll, unpack msvcrt.dll and copy the file TWISTEDPIXEL.OC_ from
the downloaded zip file into the wine install directory, rename it to
TWISTEDPIXEL.OCX and manually register it.

When you run the program, click on 'Random UWP' and then 'OK'. 
You get a dialog saying that the system is about to be generated, click
'OK' and the program generates the system, then crashes with the above
error.

Ubuntu 10.04
Wine 1.3.28

Any ideas much appreciated.

Many thanks,

I have the same problem.

I did get H&E working once a long time ago but I can't remember how and
I can no longer find the original discussions about it, but I'll keep
looking.

There are mapping solutions discussed here: but I wanted system generation,
maps, note taking etc..

I am running it on Crossover Games in a winxp bottle.
It totally fails to work in a Windows 7 64bit virtual machine on VMWare Fusion
on my Mac.
I may try and install a virtual Windows XP and see if it works then, this might
tell us if the problem is wine, or windows, or the programme itself.

I'll install XP in a VM then and use that.
