Running Folio Views under Wine

[Philip Goodfellow]

Has anyone here had experience of running the Windows program Folio 
Views under wine on Edubuntu 6.06?

I am trying to find out if I can run the software for the "Advancing 
Physics" A -level  (UK pre-university physics) course using wine 
(version 0.9.19 ~winehq0~ubuntu~6.02-2)

This uses Folio Views version 4.2  and Modellus version 2.01  
(http://phoenix.sce.fct.unl.pt/modellus/)
Modellus is working without any apparent problems (recommended if you 
haven't seen it!)  but Folio Views is causing difficulty.

The apps db at winehq suggests that Folio Views should work without 
problem (although this refers to version Folio version 4.3 and Ubuntu 
Breezy: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3919)

There are a couple of references on the Ubuntu forums but none that give 
any real help.

Problem summary:
When Folio Views is started  ( wine Views.exe) instead of the the 
database file being opened  (AdvPhy2S.nfo) directly as would happen when 
running under windows I get a dialog.
I select "open existing infobase",  computer responds with Open File dialog
I navigate to Nfo/AdvPhys2S.nfo and select Open, computer responds 
with:   Unable to open the infobase     (332,5)

The paths set to find the infobase files in the "registry" seem correct 
to me:

 >>

WINE REGISTRY Version 2
;; All keys relative to \\Machine

[Software\\AdvPhy2S\\4\\Server\\ClientPlugs\\FolioServer] 1155840938
@="nfosrv4.dll"

[Software\\AdvPhy2S\\4\\Server\\NfoPath\\AdvPhy2S] 1155839636
@="c:\\Program Files\\Advancing Physics A2\\Nfo;Z:\\Nfo;Z:\\home\\puck\\Advancing Physics A2 Student\\Folio\\Nfo"

This seems so close to working, but I am now out of my depth.  Any 
advice or suggestions where to look next would be very welcome.
