Successfully installing Wine requires:
Much thought and work from the packager (1x)
A configuration file
Wine will not run with out a configuration file. Further, no default is currently provided by Wine. Some packagers may attempt to provide (or dynamically generate) a default configuration file. Some packagers may wish to rely on winecfg to generate the configuration file.
A writeable C:\ directory structure on a per user basis. Applications do dump .ini files into c:\windows, installers dump .exe, .dll and more into c:\windows\ and subdirectories or into C:\Program Files\.
An initial set of registry entries.
The current Wine standard is to use the regapi tool against the 'winedefault.reg' file to generate a default registry.
There are several other choices that could be made; registries can be imported from a Windows partition. At this time, Wine does not completely support a complex multi user installation, ala Windows NT, but it could fairly readily.
Some special .dll and .exe files in the windows\system directory, since applications directly check for their presence.
