Following the recent change to trixie, when I try to run the program I now see:

I suspect that the first error is not important, but the failure to find the
necessary DLLs surely is.
Any suggestions as to what I need to do in order to get the program working
again under wine?? (This is actually rather important to me: this is my
go-to editor for many purposes that most other editors don't handle
particularly well.)
Hm. No idea about Wine -- but: reading the man page, there is a bunch of
environment variables which seem to affect how it finds its DLLs (e.g.
WINEPREFIX, WINEDLLOVERRIDES, among possibly others).
Any chance that the upgrade to Trixie "lost" some that environment for
you? (E.g. moving to wayland ignores /etc/X11/Xsession.d, which sometimes
sets environment for the graphical session [1]).
