That's strange. It shouldn't require that.
It is complaining that the "wine" executeable is note reachable by any
MSDOS drive name. I'm not sure why it needs to.
Just so you know, dosemu is considered better for this stuff than wine.

Also, regarding Hebrew, please pay attention that there is a difference
between running "wcmd", and running "wineconsole wcmd". The later gives
wine better control over the entire console environment, and has greater
chances of actually working.
