At first, I installed 7.0 on top of the existing 5.0.3. Errors of course. I
purged 100% of the WINE installation via the synaptic manager to include
deleting the .wine directory. I installed the 7.0. and made sure that the
winecfg pointed to the 7.0 version. Still the same errors about missing DLLs
when I invoked winecfg. So I repeated purging 7.0 and installed 7.9 dev
version. Same errors again. So I purged the WINE installation, installed the
older 5.0.3 (via synaptic) and overwrote the .wine directory from a known good
backup. winecfg is working now.
