I really don't know how to install wine with a user diferent of root. I log in with a normal user and use sudo, but the directory ".wine" appear in /root/.wine , not in /home/user/.wine If i tried to install the vmware-viewagent-4.5.0-293049.exe file through wine, whith a user different of root, the answer is: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open (13: Permissiondenied) Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
