A permissions issue, or maybe a bad path. Try installing it to your home directory: probably something like Z:\Users\THmanslyr\Aurora

I found it was easier to install Wine via Winebottler (winebottler.kronenberg.org) and then use its inbuilt interface to winetricks to implement the suggestions from http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=27303 .  It took some fiddling to get everything working, but it wasn't too bad.  By that I mean a bunch command line work was required, but I learnt most of the required stuff via frantic googling rather than innate Unix guru powers.

@Narmio

Could you tell me just where the command line work was needed? I've used winebottler before and had some success, but the system still crashed almost at random so *shrug*

Well i finally got macports set up as well as XCode, sadly it seems that the current build of winetricks isn't functional, every time i try to install it i have an issue with Orbit2 building and the macports website itself hasn't been very helpful.

Aurora works perfectly with Parallels.  Also smooth switching back to Mac OS to do whatever while NPCs are fighting it out.
