Is this the case also with the admin install? In which case it sounds like a
pure wine problem, perhaps best tackled on the winehq forums.

This does result in you having an entire copy of Microsoft Office for each and
every user. I would have thought that the symlink approach, with
personalised registry, was a more elegant solution - as per the link you
provided - did that not work for you?
There is no reason that that method could not also be tackled via a one-off
script like yours, to populate all users directories.

I note that I used /usr/local/share rather than /usr/share, and that I changed
ownership on the container directory to the installation user; so I would
imagine I must encountered the same problem. Not ideal, but then again none
of this falls into the "ideal" category!!
Lastly, I tend not to use .wine as the directory. In fact I create a .wine
directory for every user and chown to root and chmod to remove all access.
I'm sure there must be better ways of preventing users from adding their own
applications, but that's what I do! That and preventing shell access of
course. I tend to follow the convention .wine_applicationname.
