Two, each user has their own location for files/programs installed with
Wine. This is BY DESIGN.
So, what you need to do is this:
One, su to root and type in the following:
rm -rf .wine
Log out of root and then run wineboot or install your favorite program(s).
Do this for EACH user you want to use Wine.
Now, the trick is that you CAN put information that is shared between
users into a common area (folder, directory) and have multiple users
access these files. HOWEVER, it is recommended that the file(s) be
locked so that ONLY one user can open them for modification at a time,
or you will, eventually, end up with corrupted files.

run the program from a terminal session so that any error messages will

Here is a suggestion and it is in the FAQ as well:
cd to the directory where your program's installer is located for this
example I will use /media/cdrom/DoomII
This will capture all of the text output when you run setup.
If this file is small (less than twenty lines) you can post it here.
If the file is very large, you may want to use a common compression
program, like bzip2 to make the file much smaller.
Use a file service, like pastebin and place the file there and then post
a message here with the link that pastebin provides to you.
One last and most important thing, please look for your program on the
Applications Database site and see how others were able to install and
run your program. Some programs will not function well or at all with
Wine in its current state.
