Yes, but what is in /root/.winerc, which is what wine said it used?
Why do people not read error messages?

Put your config file where wine looks for it.
You could always get a more recent wine, put "" around the terms of the
config, put this line at the beginning:

WINE REGISTRY Version 2

and put it in ~/.wine/config instead.  Wine-20001202 must be pretty sour
by now.
