Thank you for the explanation. 

Could the windows registry entries be mapped to the one wine needs? 
I guess nobody expects instant 100% success but if the most important 
ones could cover over 90% of the apps then that could be a decent start 
and worth improving and maintaining in the future.

Unfortunately the only feedback which arrives to us is that wine users are 
annoyed/confused by the separate installation for wine. Apparently this is 
a major wine usability and adaption problem.
