Found what appears to be the problem. If you use XWine to alter the config file - or just look at it, but save it at the end, it alters the file. The most recent re-install i played with, it copied the last line of the file to the top, above the first line. Since the file no longer starts with WINE REGISTRY Version 2 wine gets indigestion, complains is not a valid file, and exits.
Removing the bogus line fixes the file, then wine runs ok V.
