Rafał, please be civil; you are not helping anything. Responses like "you have
a setup problem", while possibly accurate, are not useful if the reporter has
no way to determine what that setup problem is. Nor is it certain that there's
not a Wine bug.

To the original reporter:

Wine retrieves the user name from the $USER variable. If empty, it's retrieved
from getpwuid()->pw_name, and if that's also empty it defaults to "wine". So
two things that may be helpful here:

(1) What is the value of $USER, printed from a host shell?

(2) What is the output of `wine cmd /c "echo %WINEUSERNAME"`?
