Looks like a regression in Wine's code.  Can you please file a bug report
and describe the steps you took to get this to work as a workaround solution?

Thank you.

Hi James,

Alright, I've found the cause and it's entirely reproducible:

Code:
# Start with an empty WinePrefix...
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-directx9

wine --version
# wine-1.3.13

winetricks --version
# Winetricks version 20110123.  (C) 2007-2010 Dan Kegel et al.  LGPL.

# Install .NET Framework 2.0
winetricks -q dotnet20

# Regedit starts normally
wine regedit

# Install directx9 (quiet mode not implemented?)
winetricks -q directx9

# NOTE: Need a delay here so winedevice.exe shuts down. wineboot probably works,
too.
sleep 10

# Running regedit this time you'll get the error:
# The program mscorsvw.exe has encountered a serious problem
# and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. 
wine regedit



It looks as though the directx9 install, or the .reg patch following it, causes
a "*mscoree (builtin, native)" entry to appear on wincfg's
Libraries tab. If you change the override to "*mscoree (native)" the
error message goes away.

I think this is a WineTricks problem, would you agree? Where should I log the
fault?

I know "winetricks d3dx9" is recommended over "winetricks
directx9", but that only installs a few select DLLs for DirectX. I
specifically need the "DirectX for Managed Components" libraries
installed, version 1.0.2902.0 in particular, and the d3dx9 install doesn't
do that.
