Confusing install errors

[goggins]

Years ago I ran NoteTab Pro 6.2 installed with wine. Lost that machine to a hard drive failure and am setting up a new one from scratch, running Trusty Tahr.
I just installed wine. After many "file not found" errors using "open with wine" on an old NoteTab 6.2 package, I downloaded a brand new copy of NoteTab 7.2, changed to my downloads directory, executed "wine NoteTab_Full_Setup_720.exe" and got the following --

ag@Spot:~/Downloads$ wine NoteTab_Full_Setup_720.exe
err:process:init_windows_dirs directory L"C:\\windows" could not be created, error 2
err:process:init_windows_dirs directory L"C:\\windows\\system32" could not be created, error 3

fixme:service:scmdatabase_autostart_services Auto-start service L"PlugPlay" failed to start: 2
wine: cannot find L"unix\\home\\ag\\Downloads\\NoteTab_Full_Setup_72 0.exe"

How should I proceed?

Wine cannot create standard directories, perhaps you do not have permissions or you run out of disk space. Assuming you have nothing useful installed in it, run "rm -rf ~/.wine" (alternatively, you can rename it by using mv without options instead of rm -rf). After you make sure ~/.wine is gone and you have enough free space on your home partition, try to run you setup.exe as normal user again.

Thank you. I had copied my old /.wine from my other computer's back up to this one in anticipation of reusing my old NoteTab files. Once I deleted it, the install ran fine.
