I'm having something of the same sorts of problems with a program I'm trying to run with wine.
Try this "WinTools" GUI set up aid:
http://www.franksworld.net/winetools/
It will make all the necessary directories and has an "Installer" of sorts. There is some additional education on the site.
Be aware that "wine" is a work in progress. There are new RPM's built nearly every day. Check WineHQ http://www.winehq.com/. You might want to try WineX, also http://digilander.libero.it/winehqitalia/winex.html

Through the years I've noticed that quite a few people on this great list dual boots Windows occasionally. I've never had Windows on my box - and never will.
But right now I have a problem : My oldest daughter just started in college and her math teacher demands her to buy a program called *Derive*. It's a math program from Texas Instruments and I've visited their website just to find out it's a Windows app only - no Unix/Linux version.
Well, my daughters scuttled their preinstalled Windows-crap when they bought their computers and are using Linux on a daily basis with no problems insofar. So I told them - maybe a little too enthusiastic - that Linux can do anything, including running Windows applications through an emulator.
So I just installed wine and downloaded the *Derive* program. This seems to be a file called *setup.exe*. Then, I typed *wine setup.exe* and everything seemed OK until it ask me for a *folder* for installation. The screen suggest strange *folders* like *c:\programs* etc.. (???) - I don't have such *folders*, so I typed : /usr/share/derive (having created that *folder* of course. But the program doesn't seem able to find any *folders* on my system, no matter what I type.
The man pages for wine do not mention this problem, but I'm confident some of you can help me out on this - probably very trivial - hiccup.
Thanks in advance
Kaj Haulrich.
