Also, please keep in mind that one should not run Wine as root as this 
looks like what you might have tried or you installed Wine as root and 
it created a .wine folder under the $HOME directory for the user you are 
trying to run winecfg as. 

Please do the following:

rm -rf ~/.wine
if you receive error messages about not being able to do so, then do the 
following:
sudo rm -rf ~/.wine
type in your user password
and then
winecfg
which will recreate the ~/.wine folder as the present user with 
appropriate permissions.

Thank you.
