I have tried deleting the .wine folder and it just reappears, I have tried changing the drives in winecfg but it won't let me alter the c drive. I have tried using autodetect and it doesn't even see my external drive, it just brings up the c drive, the z drive, my cd drive and internal disk.

The default wineprefix is ~/.wine. To install anywhere else, you need to specify the wineprefix, e.g.:

Code:

WINEPREFIX=/path/to/location wine setup.exe



You will need to specify that wineprefix everytime you run anything installed to it, including Wine utilities like winecfg, regedit, etc.
