The same thing happens when I run it without a ~/.wine directory.
I don't get this. What do you mean with that?, you always have some kind of WINEPREFIX-directory.
From your traces i saw your .wine is in /home/ubuntu. Is that also your
username (ubuntu)? (I ask because i sent a patch a few weeks ago, to set %USERNAME%, to fix another bug in this serious sam installer)
