Are you using a fake windows directory, or a existing Win install? Possibly, it can't access the path to the windows directory?

I do have windows installed on the computer so I'm assuming that its not a fake directory. If it can't access it how can I tell it to.

I assume then, you haven't gone through the configuration steps for Wine. Start up /usr/bin/winecfg and set the directory of the windows folder.

I've had the OP's problem even after running winecfg. The solution was to upgrade to the latest version of Wine, rm -r ~/.wine, and run winecfg again.

"sudo rm -r /home/<user>/.wine && wineprefixcreate" would update your ~/.wine perfectly, too ^_^

Well, upgrading was fine, but if the problem was in the ~/.wine you could have just fixed it with that command.

I didn't communicate properly. The older version of Wine I had would hang when generating ~/.wine, even if I deleted it and started from scratch. After upgrading, it would hang trying to load my broken .wine, so I deleted it, ran winecfg to regenerate it, and it worked fine.

Clear as mud now?
