Hi Markku, Wine 1.7.16 seems to be the current "development" version of Wine, which has stuff in it that's possibly unfinished or in progress... My best guess is that maybe you're running into some bug in Wine from running the non stable version.

According to WineHQ, the current stable release is 1.6.2, possibly that would work better for you. Over here I'm not seeing problems using Wine 1.4.1 which is just what the package manager sent down when I told it to install Wine.

Probably your best bet would be to set up a separate wine version for 1.4.1, it's possible to do that but it looks like you have to build it yourself, not get it from a pre built package (since those want to go into one central location). See here for some instructions:

I would think that it's likely that if you set up a build of Wine 1.4.1 and make it go into its own separate prefix like ~/.wine-1.4.1 that might work.

Yeah but it seems that something probably having to do with inter-process communication is not working... Your other programs just don't happen to use the particular thing that MoI is having problems with. Hopefully it will get fixed during their process of tuning up the 1.7 branch.
