Try these steps!

Wine Without a Windows Partition
If you do not have a Windows drive, you should make some changes to the
configuration file or create one, if there was no configuration file created
during installation process. The wineconfig I used does not create a config
if it does not find a Windows dir.

If you have no windows directory, you should create one. According to the
file system standard this may be either in your home directory ("~/win") if
you are the only user to start Windows applications, or system wide
"/usr/local/lib/win". To create it do e.g., $ sudo mkdir -p
/usr/local/lib/win/windows

 or $ su -c "mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/win/windows"

 Then do not forget to:

$ cd /usr/local/lib/win/windows

 In addition you have to create some Windows system directories:

$ sudo mkdir system

or $ su -c "mkdir system"

Make sure that the directory is accessible for the users who need Wine.
Sometimes it is a good idea to set the sticky bit to the directory
/usr/local/lib/win/ before creating the subdirectories to set all
directories to the correct mask, when creating them. The applications now
can be installed to any dir in /usr/local/lib/win. You should touch some
files, too, as some applications need to see them in the windows directory:

$ sudo touch win.ini
$ cd system
$ sudo touch shell.dll shell32.dll winsock.dll wsock32.dll

If you want to have a personal Wine installation, create the directories
~/win, ~/win/windows and ~/win/windows/system, as described above. In the
"wine.conf" and ".winerc" above, you have to change the Wine section and
create a new drive section for Windows. If you do not want to use any
application already installed on drive C, you may substitute the drive
letter "H" as shown in our next example by "C". In section "wine" you will
have to substitite "h" by "c", too. We have chosen "H" for the windows drive
as some windows applications write absolute path statements to their ini
files including the drive letter. If you take H for your Wine windows drive
you may use C for a drive with windows applications.

Drive Substitution in Configuration file

[Drive H]
Path=/usr/local/lib/win
Type=network
Label=Windows
Filesystem=win95

[wine]
Windows=h:\windows
System=h:\windows\system
Temp=e:\
Path=h:\windows;h:\windows\system;h:\wine;e:\;f:\
SymbolTableFile=./wine.sym

;[Drive C]
Path=/dosc
; Give the mountpoint of your drive with
; your real windows installation
Type=hd
; real partition
Label=MS-DOS
; drive name
Filesystem=msdos
; Give file system als described above
; "msdos" for dos formattes drives (FAT16)
; "win95" for ext2fs, VFAT and FAT32
