DO NOT RUN WINE AS ROOT.  By running Wine as root, you have damaged your
wine install.  This is in the FAQ.

You'll need to fix your ~/.wine first before you can do anything else.

Thank you, I have mended the error of my ways :-)

I have deleted everything and re-installed Wine and WordPerfect from a clean
slate.

BUT it still doesn't help to install the .msp file. I now get this:

lex@Icarus:~$ msiexec /p /home/lex/Downloads/Windows/WP12OSP2/WP12SP2EN.msp
fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030003 for
L"/home/lex/Downloads/Windows/WP12OSP2/WP12SP2EN.msp"

I have no clue what this is and have found only one reference on the internet
to someone installing a .msp file on wine and have copied what he did - but
no success.
