What exactly are you trying to do? Is that application installed in linux/wine or is it on a Windows partition? If you want to run an application in wine, you should install it in wine/linux. It is absolutely not recommended to run Applications from a windows partition in wine, this can mess up the registry in the Windows partition and damage Windows files.
