My wife wanted to try Rosetta Stone. Rather than run the autorun.exe I clicked on the setup.exe. Normally that shouldn't make a difference, but it did in this instance. After isntalling version 1.5.1 it wouldn't run. I ran the uninstall feature but it didn't uninstall. So, I purged WINE and then attempted to re-install it. Using either the meta app or wine1.6 or wine1.7 the result was the same -- dependency errors.

The version of wine in Kwheezy 1.4 is same as Debian 7. That is version 1.4.1. I think early versions of Kwheezy came with 1.5.x which was a mistake, because Wine was not ready in debian testing when I started developing Kwheezy.
If you purge all wine related stuff, you should be able to install 1.4.1 from Debian repo (debian stable).
Have you altered the /etc/apt/sources.list file?
Please post the output from terminal when you run:
sudo apt-get install wine

Lots of changes to sources.list -- the liquorice kernel, the wheezy backports ...
I've tried forcing the 1.4.1 version of wine, and it installs, but then it gives "broken package" errors. I ran the "wine configuration" program and it created the .wine subdirectory. I'll try to reinstall Rosetta stone...
The output of the apt-get install wine command is:
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine : Depends: wine1.6 but it is not installable or
wine1.7 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Success.
After forcing wine 1.4.1 version and installing it, I redid the Rosetta Stone installation using autorun.exe this time. Rosetta stone 1.5.2 installed and ran perfectly.

Yep, just as I thought, your sources.list file was causing dependency / version problems. These are the kinds of issues that can occur if you mix your repos / branches. Using backports alone should be OK, but the wine in backports may not be ready yet.
This is why I like to wait a bit longer until backports has matured before encouraging it's use. For kernel + display drivers + virtualbox (all the stuff that has to change with new kernel), backports is now working OK. But for stuff like wine, I don't know if it's a good idea yet. Libreoffice should be fine too, because it is relatively self-contained.
I'm glad you got it working. Forcing a particular version is really showing Debian skills. Well done!
