I did at one point download the 1.1.42 files, they're sitting in home/(user)/Wine 1.1.42 , in addition to the .wine file which is in home/(user). Not sure if it's "doing anything" though. Only the older version was available in the add/remove programs thing, presumably because it is more stable, and I assumed that is the one that is doing the leg work, hence not mentioning 1.1.42 before. I imagine this probably changes the dynamic of the problem somewhat.
