If you are willing to throw some money at the problem you might try Crossover. It is a commercially sold version of Wine. They do most of the patches and updates for Wine so they usually have the most up to date version. Plus they include nicer tools to configure it. They have a free 30 trial version so you can play with if first to see if you like it. If you do you will need to cough up $50 to buy a copy.
