Known bug.  You are using and modifying the same registry file no matter 
where the users are connecting from.

You will have to install Wine on each user's machine and then install 
the applications there (much like you would in Windows).

Then you can use something like Samba to connect to the central server 
for file services.

The above is outside the Wine project.

Using winecfg you can map the Samba mount point to a Wine drive.
