Of particular interest, was a 'Gold' rating on an installation using Wine version 1.3.23 with a Windows XP winecfg and Winetricks ie6 (Internet Explorer 6). The good news is that the key ingredients to success are the notes from a couple of people who had successful installations and they recorded the deeds on the winehq app DB section of the website.
Here is what I ended up using so far to get the application up and running: as the layman's approach of trial and error that I used is a last resort. In the event that anyone has a recipe to use a more current version of Wine to install this application, please post a comment.
