I tried with the current git, and it worked, once. I did a lot of testing (an inverse regression test) and got very interesting and contradictory results. Then I tried once again with wine 1.1.7 (from Arch Linux repository, same as before), and now this version worked as well. But only once.
Conclusion: IWD2 works if it is run right after switching to a different wine version. It works exactly once and it must be the first program to be run. Also, the change in wine version must be such that running a program produces this line of output:
wine: configuration in '/home/user/.wine' has been updated.
What makes the first run different from the next ones (from the program's point of view)? Logically there should not be any difference.
Workaround for the bug: Use two different wine versions and run IWD2 with "wine2 some_empty.exe && wine iwd2.exe" ;)
