It can happen that upgrading a pre-existing Wine install "in place" doesn't go perfectly and things like this happen. This is only one of the many reasons it's better to make a separate prefix for each app/game you install rather than just installing everything to the default ~/.wine.

The Appdb is unupdated for the 1.2 RC2. 
No, how would I go about setting up this override?
And, for the clean prefix, I'd have to re-download RTW, which took over three days last time on my 54k connection. Is there any way to avoid this?
And sorry about the bump, guys. I won't do it again.
