wineprefixcreate is deprecated - don't use it. You should use wineboot ex:

Code:
export WINEPREFIX=/my/new/prefix
wineboot



That's if you really must create prefix to copy some files there. If the next step for you is to install program - then just install it.

Remove that prefix, and properly run the installer. Note that your other commands are incorrect. You should NOT use *NIX paths with Wine. If you really want to, read the FAQ: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-3b297df7a5411abe2b8d37fead01a2b8edc21619

If that still doesn't work - post the complete terminal output.
