No, but I did not try it anymore.
BTW: the tomtom seems to be just a plain usb-storage device, but the software checks the product ID afaict.

Did you have any luck getting the TomTom going..? I’m trying to update one using the TomTom software on WINE but it can’t see the device..
there is something about devices in general using tty-usb in order to be able to work with WINE but I don’t have a TomTom with me to test.

The bug is fixed in git. wine-1.1.10 should be able to play Avatar - Legends of the Arena without having to copy wininet.
Thanks to Hans Leidekker for the fix.

Thanks for the info! I see this is now also in the wine bug tracking system as
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16266
Until this bug is fixed, I have added a wininet verb
to winetricks, so you can now work around this problem with
wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks wininet
which might be a bit easier than grabbing wininet yourself.
(Winetricks downloads a fresh copy from microsoft.com.)

You can use winecfg and create an entry for the AvatarMP.exe and specify the dll overrides there, thus beeing able to start it from the menu like all the other wine programs
