However, I expect the error to return when I install 1.1.24 if I don't delete the .wine directory and reinstall my software (assuming a fix doesn't make it into that version of course).
I know that pre 1.0 the advice was always to start with a clean .wine, but I'm assuming that this philosophy is somewhat diluted by the stated aim of supporting upgrade from one version to another. Besides, this error is so consistent across versions that I find it hard to believe that code fixes are coming out every version that affects this (as I believe was the historical reason for deleting .wine - to prevent old configurations clashing with new fixes).
