Since it seems from your description that
the users don't need to share a copy of the registry,
the solution is probably to do what Picasa for Linux
does, and just put symlinks to the installed files
into each user's .wine directory.  You will need to
write a little script that starts the app after
creating these links.   You can see how to do this
by installing Picasa and looking at /opt/picasa/bin/wrapper,
it does exactly this.
