But right now i start this prefix with a wine executable, that is in an individual path and a wineprefix, that is in an individual path. That works quite okay. But as with a standard wineinstallation and wineprefix. where you can installe windows-software on Userbasis, i want wine to create a prefix, that has already software installed.

You can use 'wineboot' to create a prefix without installing software.
The wineprefix changes relatively often, as new dlls are added.
However, with any non-ancient wine version, the prefix is
automatically updated if run by a new wine version, so that shouldn't
be too big of an issue.
