I first used it (on Intrepid in March). Through constantly uninstalling and
re-installing it, trying to configure it etc. to get Windows software to run
(which either wouldn't run to begin with or would stop running at some
point, preferably after automatic updates to Ubuntu), I'm afraid I screwed
it up. But perhaps anybody has an idea how to get it to run? Or to be installed
in the first place? It seems there is residue from old installations left, I
also still have a Wine-Doors folder in my Home directory, I thought I
uninstalled that as well.

The default wine prefix (~/.wine) is a hidden folder. It is not actually created
until the first time you run Wine, so if you haven't tried to install
anything yet, it won't exist.
Open a terminal and run winecfg. If you don't have a ~/.wine yet, that will
create one.
To get rid of "residue" from old installations, follow these
instructions:

As for Wine-Doors, that's not supported here. Ask them.
