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
