Well, you haven't bothered to tell us where you got wine from, or how
you installed it, so I don't know exactly.  If you have the wine source,
you can cd to the root of the source tree, cd again to "programs", then
"make", and when that is done, "make install".  Then cd .. back to
<wine> and do "regapi setValue -- -force <winedefault.reg"

Don't forget the <, or regapi will wait forever for you to type in the
registry entries.  I would edit winedefault.reg first so the debugger
has a chance:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug]
# command line to start a debugger when an exception occurs
"Debugger"="/usr/local/bin/winedbg %ld %ld"
# to 0 if a message box has to be presented before running the debugger
"Auto"="1"

but maybe you don't care about the debugger.  That is just where it
installs from source if you don't tell it otherwise.  Change as
appropriate.  :-)
