Does any one have any idea how to configure it? Im pretty much a commandline retart...im trying to get it running with mala if anyone knows how this is done
please dont be shy

Sure no problem.

Since I don't know if you've configured Zinc before, well start be running zinc from command line. 

Edit your zinc.cfg file and it should be something like this (note I'm including my mame roms directory as zinc's rom directory):
extension=.zip
path=d:\zinc\
send rom path=1
send exit keys=1
command line options;--use-config-file=zinc.cfg --use-renderer-cfg-file=renderer.cfg --roms-directory=d:\mame\roms\

And your renderer.cfg file shoul look like this:
; ogl/d3d renderer settings

XSize         = 640   ; Window/fullscreen X size
YSize         = 480   ; Window/fullscreen Y size
FullScreen      = 1      ; Fullscreen mode: 0/1
ColorDepth      = 32    ; Fullscreen color depth: 16/32
ScanLines      = 0      ; Scanlines: 0=none, 1=black, 2=bright
Filtering      = 0      ; Texture filtering: 0-3 (filtering causes glitches!)
Blending      = 1    ; Enhanced color blend: ogl: 0/1; D3D: 0-2
Dithering      = 0    ; Dithering: 0/1 (only needed in 16 bit color depths)
ShowFPS         = 0    ; FPS display on startup: 0/1
FrameLimitation       = 1    ; Frame limit: 0/1
FrameSkipping      = 0    ; Frame skip: 0/1
FramerateDetection   = 1    ; Auto framerate detection: 0/1
FramerateManual      = 100    ; Manual framerate: 0-1000
TextureType      = 3    ; Textures: 0=card's default, 1=4 bit, 2=5bit, 3=8bit
TextureCaching          = 2     ; Caching type: 0-3, def=2, mode 3 is not available on most cards
EnableKeys              = 0     ; Enable renderer keys: 0/1, def=1 (enables keys for the fps menu/pause)
FastExcel               = 0     ; Speed hack for SF 'excel' modes. Will cause glitches if enabled!

Of course you'll need the appropiate bios files for the roms to run.

The next step is to run any rom in Zinc  through the command prompt (be sure you're at zinc's directory) like this:
zinc.exe 2 --use-config-file=zinc.cfg

2 is the number that zinc has assign to Street Fighter EX.  Look at this list:

If zinc runs successfully, the next step would be to use Howard's excellent wrapper through command prompt:
cmd-launch7.exe sfex --use-config-file=zinc.cfg

It's that simple.

And if you want to execute the wrapper without the "--use-config-file=zinc.cfg" switch, all you need to do is edit the lconfig.ini  file.  And this is what you do:
Find the game list inside lconfig.ini and simply paste the "--use-config-file=zinc.cfg" switch at the end of each game.  For example:
sfex;2 --use-config-file=zinc.cfg.

Now you can ran the wrapper with out the "--use-config-file=zinc.cfg" switch:   cmd-launch7.exe sfex

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
