wine users - Dec 2011 - Cannot find 'MFC42.DLL' - Problems installing Windows app

I'm trying to install a Windows application using Wine, but I'm running
into some difficulties.

The .exe file is in my Documents
($) cd Documents
($) wine [File name].exe
then X11 launches, but I receive this message: Cannot find 'MFC42.DLL'.
Please, re-install this application.
Terminal says: fixme:toolhelp:CreateToolhelp32Snapshot Unimplemented: heap list
snapshot

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?

Thanks!

Please use winetricks to install this missing dll file.
http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks.  Product is a third party
application, but limited support is available here, but if something
does not work please file an issue at the location pointed to on the
Wiki Page.

I went to http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks, and I downloaded winetricks (which
to clarify, didn't register as a .dmg) and ran it on through the terminal
control. After executing the previous, I still receive the same problem (cannot
find 'MFC42.DLL') even when following the directions on using winetricks
and attempting to install the .dll.

I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post these problems. If it is, please
direct me to the correct website to post these queries. Thank you!

Yes, I tried.

Opened Terminal Control
($) cd Documents
($) sh winetricks mfc42
X11 opened, and I received the following in Terminal Control:
Executing w_do_call mfc42
Executing load_mfc42
------------------------------------------------------
Cannot find cabextract.  Please install it (e.g. 'sudo apt-get install
cabextract' or 'sudo yum install cabextract').
------------------------------------------------------

After that I tried ($) sh winetricks cabextract - no idea if that is the correct
move, especially since TC then said "Unknown arg cabextract."

Did not know how to proceed after that.

Thanks for that information, John. I installed cabextract, but I'm still
having trouble installing the .dll.

($) sh winetricks mfc42
Executing w_do_call mfc42
Executing load_mfc42
Executing cabextract -q
/Users/---------/Library/Caches/winetricks/vcrun6/vcredist.exe -d
/Users/---------/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32 -F mfc42*.dll
dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022
winetricks: line 256: 21553 Trace/BPT trap          "$@"
------------------------------------------------------
Note: command 'cabextract -q
/Users/---------/Library/Caches/winetricks/vcrun6/vcredist.exe -d
/Users/---------/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32 -F mfc42*.dll'
returned status 133.  Aborting.
------------------------------------------------------

Is there anything I can do from this point on?

also arrives with a solid cost tag. North Confront understands that not everyone
is ready to forgo a week of groceries to personal a jacket. There is a greater
solution than waiting patiently for an stop-of-the-period sale!

I have Mac OS X, version 10.5.8 (Leopard). Thanks for clarifying that the binary
I downloaded may be too new for my current software for it to properly work.

I tried to follow the
http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=7135&sid=e32737b040507ab8101e008e1cc3dedb
instructions to install cabextract using MacPorts, but I was unsuccessful.

I'm quite new at this, and I have no idea how to go about building
cabextract myself. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Much appreciated.
