It works if you return in libs/wine/config.c around line 212 when errno ==
ENOENT. Maybe Alexandre did it on purpose to prevent wineprefixcreate from
running in case you made a typo in $WINEPREFIX ?

Yes, it's done on purpose to catch typos. This is going to change with the new
wineprefix handling.

Yes sir, the new wineprefix handling in git fixes this for me. Thanks, this bug
