The installer put in a directory named 'stdplugs' but the program wanted it to be 'StdPlugs'.  So I renamed it.  It still says these libraries fail to initialize.  I must be missing a windows module but I did put in the recommended winetricks things, and now, I am stuck.  Any ideas?

Hi,

WINE will read in additional DLL files that you specify manually on the 
command line. Use the WINEDLLOVERRIDES environment variable, placed 
before your launch command, following the syntax specified in the manual:

http://ftp.winehq.org/pub/wine/docs/en/wineusr-guide.html#AEN586

The actual library files should preferably be in the directory from 
which you are entering the launch command. In these cases, I cd to the 
actual "Program Files" directory inside the WINE bottle, copy the DLL's 
there, and always launch the program from there. I've found that 
character case in DLL filenames was irrelevent when loaded in this way, 
but your mileage may vary.
