Htsysm won't start!

[Pelly]

I installed Party Castle in a POL prefix, but I get "Failed to initialize device" errors whenever I try to run it.
Currently I'm trying to run it under the latest development Wine.
The debug log tells me that there's some problem with htsysm:

err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"Htsysm" failed to load

How can I make it work?

POL is not supported here; this forum is for plain Wine only. Normally I'd tell you to reinstall in a clean wineprefix using plain Wine, but what I get from googling htsysm is that it's malware. http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx ... da7702b5d0

Delete the wineprefix and run a virus check.

WHAT? A VIRUS? I can't see why would an app by Square Enix contain malware.
