ok i did what i described in my previous post.
i rm -r the .wine folder, then uninstalled wine, then reinstalled wine
i then closed off the root term and opened a user term and ran the installation .exe file with the wine command from the user terminal.
installation went to 99% then failed to create the folder as it happened before.
this is the terminal output:
