That's because "wine" is symlinked to 32-bit wine, which redirects 
system32 to syswow64. "wine64" will work.

Note though that dpinst needs to be called with specific arguments, 
which is part of the reason I asked to rerun the installer.

One other thing I forgot to mention—you'll need to override dpinst64.exe 
as "builtin,native", since the default for the main EXE is 
native,builtin when loaded with an exact path.
