With Crossover 9.0.2 ...
1) The installer doesn't work. So ...
2) Install it on a real windows box. VMware or virtual box work fine.
3) Copy the installation dirs over to a new XP bottle.
4) Install fonts, OLE, VB6 runtime, and MSXML parser.
5) Run the mentor "configurator.exe", do whatever you need to for licensing
6) add every win32/bin dir under the mentor tree to your path
7) find every "env.ini" and manually register each dll and ocx called out with regsvr32.
run regedit on every ".reg" file called out
8) Now, you're missing windows scripting host dlls. Install them or copy from a windows XP box. you need at least
dispex.dll scrrun.dll wshcon.dll jscript.dll scrobj.dll vbscript.dll wshext.dll; register them all with regsvr32.exe

That should do it ... viewdraw and various checkers should work now.

Here's a simple perl script to help in registering dlls ... feed it an env.ini file

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $bottle="mentor";
my $wine="/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine";

while(<>) {
  chomp;
  s/\s*$//;
  s/^\s*//;
  next if (/^$/);
  if (/^\[(.+)\]$/) {
    $section=$1;
    next;
  }
  if ($section eq "PREPEND") {
    print("PREPEND:: $_\n");
    next;
  }
  if ($section eq "APPEND") {
    print("APPEND:: $_\n");
    next;
  }
  if ($section eq "REGSVR32") {
    $_=~s/^REGSVR32=//;
    register($_);
    next;
  }
  if ($section eq "REGEDIT") {
    $_=~s/^.+=//;
    regedit($_);
    next;
  }
}

sub register {
  my $dll=shift;

#  print("register $dll\n");
  system("$wine --bottle $bottle --start \"regsvr32 $_\"\n");
}

sub regedit {
  my $reg=shift;

#  print("regedit $reg\n");
  system("$wine --bottle $bottle --start \"regedit $_\"\n");
}
