Registry diff, upgrade from 1.5.12 to 1.5.14

I installed SlingPlayer 1.5 in a clean wineprefix with Wine 1.5.12, then
updated the wineprefix to Wine 1.5.14, after creating a copy of the original.
The result being the same as above: the SlingPlayer no longer works.

I made a diff -Nru of the two wineprefixes but the only interesting changes
were in the registry (diff attached).

The attached shows some expected changes, some expected deletions (due to new
commits) but a load of completely unexpected deletions.

For some reason Wine removes a lot of the registry entries that the SlingPlayer
installer has created.

Some of the removals can, in theory, be replaced with a "regsvr32 *.dll", but
others cannot without a complete reinstall.

The question now is: why is Wine doing this and how can it be stopped?
