The Windows registry is a sort of database where all
the information about your installed applications is
stored.

If WIne can use it, it can allow it to use directly your applications
without having to install the applications under Wine - something
that don't work quite often.

Wine don't say that you don't have a Windows registry. 
It says that it can't find it.

Check the config file to verify the configuration of
Wine pseudo-drives.

Also, don't be afraid to use 'man wine', its function is to 
explain how things work.
See also the documentation directory.
