The log already tells you the error, mfc42 is missing.
Run

Code: Select all

winetricks -q mfc42
to install it.

To see what an option does, you can run "winetricks -h":

Code: Select all

-q, --unattended      Don't ask any questions, just install automatically
In this case the "-q" doesn't change a thing, I just added it out of habit.
