simple, free .NET 2.0 utility can't find its data file

[sponsor61]

Please help me get this small utility working under wine.

The simple free utility gp2l.exe, written in 2013, which can be downloaded at this URL:
gp2l.dyndns.org
(download version v3.0.042 under the download link)
says it needs .Net 2 or later so
I ran
winetricks dotnet20

the installed and ran gp2l.exe with wine-staging 6.4
This utility is supposed to populate several tabs using its database, but it does not seem to find its database under wine. I think this has something to do with the following text sent to STDERR:
L"Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" not registered 0024:fixme:gdiplus:GdipCreateHalftonePalette stub

When I start the program via
wine gp2l.exe 2> gp2lStderrOutput.txt
cat gp2lStderrOuput.txt

I get the following output

By the way, gp2l works fine on Windows 10

[sponsor61]

I have run into similar problems before, where a .NET utility runs, but fails to populate it's windows. In the case of gp2l, when I click on a new tab, I get the warning dialog box "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." The panes of the window where data should be filled in remain blank.

If that is indeed the issue you can also try 'winetricks mdac28 jet40'

(For the database access, not sure about anything else.)
