Your original message (especially the last part) was pretty clear, but
I just reversed the meaning.  Sorry.

I actually ran setup.exe from a bash/wine environment, and for that
the HOME environment variable (as printed out by

printenv |grep HOME

) was not set.  So there is likely some other reason (which may or may
not be related to a Wine bug) that I got the same symptoms as the OP.
