Terminal output of age3y.exe under 1.1.43

Starting with wine 1.1.39 and onwards, Age Of Empires III will not start
anymore. When launching the game or any of its addons, a very uninformative
"Initialization failed" message pops up right at the splash screen and the
startup is aborted. The most recent version tested is 1.1.43 where the problem
persists.

Prior versions to 1.1.38 do work without problem on the very same system. My OS
is Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. I don't know if it is related to this bug but with
1.1.38, the game would not start complaining that MSXML 4.0 was not installed
although it was.
