I managed to fix it (I wont say "figure it out"!).
I was going through osxmidi's advice on GitHub regarding Wine prefixes and DLL overrides which is pretty new to me. I knew that it couldn't be anything too drastic as I have installed all the Melda 11.05 plugs on a Ubuntu 17.04 machine. So I started trying older bundles of the Melda plugs starting with MDrummerLarge6.07 and Melda 10.07 which installed fine, after that I kept iterating and ended up at the latest versions which (so far) are working.
So I'm guessing there is some redistributable library in the older installers that isn't in the new ones.
Is there any way of telling if libraries are missing when Wine wont install an app? Or is it just trial and error?
