Look through menus
Wine probably was not installed correctly. Your PC runs, I believe, a version of Ubuntu. You should be able to install it using your package manager, and if it is installed, you should be able to find it in the menus.
On Kubuntu 8.04 it is under System Settings, Advanced, System Administration. It sounds like you're going to need to work through this with whatever package manager came with your system. |
To my knowledge it won't work natively in browsers (if that's your intent) designed for Linux. I've read somewhere that a guy got Shockwave to work in a browser by installing the Windows version of Firefox after successfully installing Shockwave using WINE.

Wine
Hello there!
To install wine, open the konsole. run: sudo apt-get install wine It will ask you for your password. Let it install. Then, Download any .exe (Windows Binary file) to your desktop. open the konsole and run: cd Desktop Then, locate your file on the desktop, and run: wine <DRAG THE DOWNLOADED EXE FILE HERE> Thats it! Good luck! |

Wine is a hidden directory in you /home/user directory. If you are user saturn, you would open your file manager (don't know what distro you are using?) such as konqueror or nautilus. Navigate to /home/user, click on the 'View' tab at the top and there is a 'view hidden files' option. Click it and you should be able to see .wine.
