Mike,

Do you have both Progra~1 *and* Program Files subdirectories? I don't
suppose you know which specific app fouled things up, do you? (I didn't
think so.) Until you find the root cause, I wouldn't rename any
directories.

For what it's worth, I just re-installed CodeWeaver's stuff and it
properly created:

~/.cxplugin/dotwine/fake_windows/Program Files/Common Files/...

For some reason it didn't create a /usr/local/etc/wine.systemreg
registry file (yet?). Standby, Houston... rpm says I don't have plain
old wine installed. The FC1 release notes don't mention it, but I seem
to recall that Fedora dropped wine support (for nptl reasons???).
