It's complaining about the directory c:\Program Files\Common
Files\InstallSheild\Engine\6\Intel32 , not the files in it. What are the
permissions on ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common
Files/InstallShield/Engine/6/Intel32? (I fope the space in "Intel 32" is a
typo.)

No, that would look in ~root for drive_c (if that's the default location),
not ~lelachk. If you'd set wine up so that drive_c is not specific to the
user, that might work.

Two atoms are walking along. Suddenly, one
stops. The other says, "What's wrong?" "I've lost
an electron." "Are you sure?" "I'm positive!"
