'echo disable >~/.wine/.update-timestamp' should do the trick, however that basically disables the prefix updates.
Thanks Dmitry. I tested it - it works and does not show the configuration window. Though, my newly generated prefix looks relatively empty compared to what I am used to. It's missing a lot of stuff in drive_c (?).

Now, after seeing what precisely you're trying to do, I have to say that my suggestion should not be used in your scenario. Disabling updates is only appropriate for fully initialized prefixes. Perhaps adding new switch '-q[uite]' or '-nobanner' to wineboot would better match your needs.
