Better (and I think proper) way: WINEPREFIX=$PATH_TO_NEW_WINEPREFIX wineboot Have no idea if current docs/FAQ/Wiki mention a replacement command for deprecated wineprefixcreate but if they don't they should. And message: "Note: wineprefixcreate is deprecated and shouldn't be needed anymore. WINEPREFIX creation and updates now happen automatically when needed." ...should mention a replacement, for example: "Use wineboot instead if you need to force Wine prefix creation".
