manual:

$ msiexec -regserver

With the current way wineprefixcreate loads wine.inf and sets up the current
configuration, msiexec's regserver is called before the proper SCM registry
entries exist, thus the call to OpenSCManager fails.  The patch I sent to add
msiexec registration was preceded by a patch that made wineprefixcreate use
advpack instead of setupapi to load wine.inf, but that was silently rejected. 
Using advpack would allow us to use the RunPostSetupCommands after all the
registry entries have been created.  This is the best solution, but Alexandre
hasn't accepted it so far.  The other possible solution is to check if the right
registry keys exist in OpenSCManager and create them if they don't, but native
doesn't do this and it's pretty hacky.
