Never run Wine as root. Delete the wineprefix you created as root and try again as a normal user.

Nothing changed.
I'm still having the same error.

I installed vb5run without any problems....
What can I do?

Well, I can't explain that, but when I retry as root it installed without any problems (even not ask me to download installer), and my app is working fine :).
Thanks dimesio ;)

Sounds like you did not follow my earlier advice to delete the wineprefix that you messed up by running as root.

Running Wine as root is not supported. If you insist on doing it, any problems you encounter are yours to solve. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_as_root
