wine users - Oct 2008 - err:process:init_windows_dirs directory L"c:\\windows" could

I get the following error trying to run anything in wine:

Code:

fowie at fowie-desktop:~$ wine /media/cdrom0/install\ studio\ 8.exe 
err:process:init_windows_dirs directory L"c:\\windows" could not be
created, error 2
err:process:init_windows_dirs directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" could
not be created, error 3

created, error 2

not be created, error 3

err:process:init_windows_dirs directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" could
not be created, error 3
wine: could not load L"D:\\install studio 8.exe": Module not found



I'm using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04, and I've done an apt-get remove --purge of
wine and reinstalled, to no avail.  I seem to remember trying something a while
back to fix wine so it would let me run an old Dos game, but can't remember
what it was.  Any ideas where to look?

You will have to erase your .wine folder. Run :

Code:
rm -rf ~/.wine


To remove everything you have made to wine configuration and everything you
installed in it.
