Wine shows a strange message loading an application

Hi all, I'm new in this forum...
Anyway, I compiled my application with VB6, then I protected it using a packer...
If I try to load it with Wine, it's shown a message saying "Debugger detected, quitting.".
And that's strange because this is the message that my app shows if opened by a debugger...
So, what's that??

*** Sorry for bad English ***

This is your packer's message saying that it is not compatible with
Wine. You'll have to remove it.

The message is strange because I used ExeCryptor 3, checking the box "Wine compatible"...

Sounds like a bug in ExeCryptor. Report the problem to its developer.

Since you have the privilege of the source code, can't you just compile it for whatever operating system you want to? Or did you have it call Windows function calls in the source code?

It's far better to have a native version for each operating system than to use WINE as your method for making it cross-platform.

As a compromise, I think, think, don't know, you can compile it with winelibs or whatever to make Linux version.
