Run windows portable with wine works only with root

-1

I have installed recently Ubuntu 20.04. One of my favorite program TaskCoach is not supported anymore, as still based on Python2 (and dependent libraries). So, I am trying to run TaskCoach portable via wine. I have downloaded TaskCoachPortable_1.4.6.paf.exe at https://www.taskcoach.org/download_for_windows.html I was able to install without issue

wine TaskCoachPortable_1.4.6.paf.exe

Then, I tried to run

wine TaskCoachPortable.exe

I receive the following errors in the log file:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "taskcoach.pyw", line 22, in <module>
  File "taskcoach.pyo", line 61, in start
  File "taskcoachlib\config\__init__.pyo", line 19, in <module>

  File "random.pyo", line 111, in seed
WindowsError: [Error -2146893801] Windows Error 0x80090017

However, if I run via root, it works without issues

sudo wine TaskCoachPortable.exe

to be sure, I have given all rights (chmod 777), but it didn't change the error

Best regards

wine
