Don't use winetools, please.  As you noticed, it does bad things to
your ~/.wine.
Or, if you do use it, please report problems to the winetools
developer, not here.

Yes.  Here's what I do:

# Fake IE per workaround in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3453
wineserver -k
cat >> $HOME/.wine/system.reg <<"_EOF_"

[Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"Version"="6.0.2900.2180"
_EOF_

Thanks. but it doesn't seem to fool autocad. I tried:
WINEDEBUG=+server wine setup.exe > ~/mywinelog.txt
but it still logs to stout and my system can't keep up with the scrolling.
Is there a way to watch just the registry read/write ?

You want

WINEDEBUG=+reg wine setup.exe 2>/tmp/log

Note that you redirect stderr not stdout.
