OK, now I understand. There are some informations related to the old
interactive SID stored in HKLM. They need to be renamed to local user SID.

For Solidworks, it was in 
HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Installer\\UserData

With this hack SolidWorks works perfectly without reinstalling, and I guess
that it would be the same for other apps.

So, basically 

sed -i "s/S-1-5-4/S-1-5-21-0-0-0-1000/g"  $WINEPREFIX/system.reg  

will do the trick. 


Adding it to a winetricks verb, or, better, as a test launched at first 1.3.16
start (when WINEPREFIX is updated) may be a good thing.  I tested it on a few
prefixes and it doesn't break anything.
