I assume "corruption" refers to various config files.  So use a different wineprefix - just put binaries in a common place, using symlinks if this "binary path" isn't separately configurable.  (~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files -> /usr/local/share/wine/Program\ Files)  Executables aren't written to, so how would they be corrupted?
