Ok, .exe files will not run in Linux unless you install them with wine, yast will not open exe files. In linux there is a concept called a package manager which downloads and installs software for you, thats what yast does. In addition, there are package files, which are usually .deb or .rpm(there are exceptions like slackware which uses .tgz). Just use YaST to download and install programs for you
I would have thought simply double clicking on the wine rpm file would launch your package manager, you can then proceed with the install from there. If you know how to switch to root in a terminal, do so and type (or copy and paste this command):
Code:
rpm -ivh wine-1.0-3.2.i586.rpm
then press enter.

If you have downloaded and saved the wine rpm to your desktop, cut it then paste it into your home folder then do the above command again. If your version of wine is not the same as 1.0-3.2, change the number(s) accordingly when you type the command.

I'm not a fan of openSUSE but one thing they do extremely well is introductory documentation. It exists for a reason.
This might be the politest rtfm post made at lq for quite some time.
The only place I can see it is in the little "Downloads" window that popped up. It no longer has a loading bar and says 'Done' directly beneath 'wine-1.0-3.2.i586.rpm'. On the right side it says 'Remove' directly beneath 'Open'. When I open it I get some weird archive manager that I have no idea what to do with.
Did you download with firefox? If so, hit the tools menu, then options, and on the main tab, it will tell you where downloads are going (something like Downloads - save files to)
