Why not use the per-application version setting?

.wine/config:
[AppDefaults\\sol.exe\\Version]
"Windows" = "win2k"

(you might need to add such a version entry for several different
executable names which are used during the install)

This may have changed already due to the current move from the
config file into a special registry branch, but I think it's still
valid.

Or just try removing all forced Windows version values and let
Wine try to figure out good version values by itself (may work,
but may just as well fail, since it's a bit difficult to guess
reliably).

Good luck,
