I think the problem here is that you are logged in as root which you should NEVER do.
Log back in as a normal user and try again.
Also there seems to be a native Linux version have a read here

Worked. Thanks. Can anyone explain to me why it worked with reduced permissions but would not with SU?

It’s part of keeping wine apps safe. If they were run as root could potentially be prone to malware
