So far laid in the Code for the most topmost codes to insert into the terminal through Ubuntu's Page. However the codes and packages are listed, just not installed, nor show any signs on the desktop page that Wine is listed/implemented into the system. So what do I do? I've already done the Apt-get Commands and pretty much that's all I've managed to do.

EDIT: The Exe Programs are Re-iconed with Mono-Terminal which picks up a small terminal which plays a line of code before closing out, but nothing else is shown/represented. Nor is the program EXE's are executed.

So I take it that apt-get didn't install Wine ?

You need to post any error messages you're getting using CODE tags, we can't guess.

You can run the Windows software using Wine, in a terminal, so you can see any error messages. Why do you need to use Windows software on Linux for? Is there no Linux app to do what it is that you want to do?

Apologies for the Late response, I only have a small inconsistent amplitude of public internet access for a short period of time nearly three times a week. Yes "Apt-get" seemed to retrieved and installed the repositories, for as far as I can tell, and as far as the terminal remark, I should be able to get you whatever the error is if I can allocate how to do that. To my knowledge at least, these lines of codes, (at least when launched from the .exe program itself,) are to my current belief, not saved, but execute a quick small terminal before closing out. I should be able to get these recorded if I can see the supposed error for more than a millisecond. Or for the very least can get a log compiled out whenever it executes the apt, for the most part. I apologize again for not being anymore informative, but if I am able to get more clued into what to look for and what to do for Cinnamon 19, I'll surely Post up what I can. Thanks.

Sotoprior - I think you are doing something wrong:-

would not happen with the normal way of installing software from the terminal. What should normally happen at the first stage (run terminal), is that a window should appear, with a 'command prompt'. It should not close until you choose to close it. If it isn't doing that, you should post the instructions you are following, or a link to the website, and I am sure there are numerous people here who will try to help.

Well, soon after this comment was made, I had tried to look up an image to illustrate the conundrum of why wine itself was not showing up as an option, as the only choice was mono terminal, (which in my mind I had believed was wine itself, oddly enough.) Well lord and behold, the picture had been linked originally come from a topic roughly on the same ideal of requiring wine onto mint, (for some sort of Stock market analyzer program, [none of which had interested me, but whatever],):
http://fxgears.com/index.php?threads...int-18-2.1091/
Soon following the thread I had thought I had everything sorted and now wine itself was an option for launching exe programs, for all of 5 minutes...

Yeah see I was using this program at this point just so I can launch LightScreen Screen capturing software, just so I can illustrate this, and it had successfully launched the first time. (FIRST TTIME.) I then tested it out with a StarCraft II installer, and pretty much it was then when I realized when something had been configured wrong and it only went downhill from there. (I'd have screenshots, but as I mentioned earlier about Lightscreen...) Yeah all the GUI was pretty much disorientated from the installer/Login, and I soon quickly uninstalled what I could. Yet somehow battlenet was still in the computer. I then installed some game launcher that is basically depends on launching off the web Browser as its launcher, (for ideal of what I mean, just think of the Roblox launcher, best I could compare it to at this point,) which from my chrome browser, the site, nor the launcher itself could detect itself to initiate the game I was planing to join, so I made it quick to attempt to uninstall the launcher from the new WINE tab the is now on the start menu, (to which nothing happened, nor did the option itself disappear.) SO then I proceeded to remove the file Directory itself from the /.wine menu, to see if that would at least force the start menu to acknowledge that the files are no longer available, (or force delete the shortcut in a sense somehow.) That did nothing but break the option when clicked on, but otherwise still remain in the Wine tab and are basically useless now. So then I proceeded to restart my computer to see if that would update the start menu; still there. I then wanted to document the finding by taking a screenshot, but the lightscreen program failed to launch when clicked on, (as I mentioned earlier the program can only launch once the first time but doesn't any time after that.) I then proceeded to uninstall Lightscreen to see if it had suffered the same effect as this game launcher, but it easily uninstalled and promptly removed the option from the start menu, so that didn't help in cluing me in what was the problem, so it was then when I decided I had enough, and promptly proceeded to remove and Apt Purge, and remove as much as I can from the WINE program itself in terminal, just to get rid of the launcher...

Well as far as I can tell from Software manager, I got as much as I can uninstalled, and I believed I purged just about everything I can, but the package manager still has some sort of "Repositories to be installed" in its listings, and despite everything I've done the two troublesome programs are still in the start menu, added with the WINE tab itself. And believe me I've already been working on this OS for some time now, I do NOT wish, nor have the resources to backup these files and wipe everything away right this very moment. And the tab itself only serves as a grim reminder of what was, and what has been aptly missing from the whole wine itself. As researching how wine plays on Ubuntu Naturally shows a bunch of additional programs/options that work to configure Wine and how EXE programs work on the computer itself, and the specific, "Add or remove Programs" "Preferences/program" did not show up for me in the slightest in neither the terminal nor the search bar, so it's clear I've yet to purge enough to have completely uninstalled it to reinstall it properly... (I think.)

So you know, Linux Genius at work here...

OK, it seems that the problem here is partially that you haven't yet changed your thinking about the operating system that you now have installed. You are not using Windows any more, you are on Linux, so whatever you want to do on your computer, you should ALWAYS start off by looking to see if there is a Linux program that will do the job. Firstly:-

If you want to take a picture of your current screen, simply press the "Print Screen" button (or PrtSc) and look in your Pictures folder, and you will find a screenshot. If you want to record the activity on your screen, there are lots of very decent Linux programs that will do the job, and will save to a format that is useful for most people, such as mp4 (simplescreenrecorder, RecordMyDesktop and many many more).

Starcraft II and Battlenet are both on the list of programs that Playonlinux will help you to install. The thing to bear in mind, when trying to install Windows programs on Wine, in Linux, is that a LOT of the files that tend to be standard in Windows (such as MFC42.dll) are not standard in Wine, and need a bit of work to get them working correctly.

Internet Explorer, Chrome Browser, Firefox, etc., are not installed in Wine by default. They can be installed, if you want, and again, PlayOnLinux helps with this. The thing to bear in mind, is that Wine is designed to work in separate 'bottles', and that you would need to install the browser in the same 'bottle' as Roblox launcher.

You will find the equivalent in Menu->Wine->Uninstall Wine Software.

I am not one of those Linux fans who insist that all the software you can ever want, can be found on Linux. The thread that is about "What programs would you like to be ported to Linux" is testament to that. However, the software centre is still the first place you should look for most software. If you want to play games though, you should probably install "Steam".

Yes As of currently, I do have steam. (Bit of a side contention for that though that I find surprising is the actual lack of Ports of more, I can only assume, "Mainstream" titles. Least in my sense for things I've experienced so far in terms of the main 169 steam games as part of my library on less than the 69 of them even being coded for the linux/steamOS platform. Not to add to the fact that most of those games aren't exactly graphically demanding/complex. If they aren't direct ports of Old Gold Source Engined games, Retro games, or anything of that manner of pre-generation of 2012-ish, we're looking a lot of 2D orientated games interspersed with Multiplayer Only eccentric ones.) But that's my own concurrent experience and not the current topic at hand.

Yes, I suppose there is a bottle-neck when it comes with wine when I come to think about it, and it appears to involve itself in more than just a surface leveled installation; Yet there's still the separated tab created from wine, to which nothing from the preferences page to my own meddling has removed it. Not to add that the Uninstall Option as I mention previously, as part as What wine is supposed to implement within Ubuntu is even in here, even given my frugal attempts at Uninstallation of the entire APT package itself. Yes I do not mean to sound windows "Short-Sighted", but at least as of currently, that's all the knowledge I have currently to run off of. There's clearly a remaining Old Wrinkle of a vein still within of the previous Wine I somehow managed to install, that I'm currently searching within my system to be ridden myself of, to truly reinstall the entire .Deb package again through. Least the current probability stands with everything given to work from with the task manager's seeming uneagerness to update and retract the tab all together would assert one to believe anyway. I've yet to hear about linux lingering on any program file it had just uninstalled yet kept the tab for that it would have otherwise could not with the files believing to be have completely wiped out for yes?

(And on a side note, I've kind of grown a liking to LightScreen due to the way one can section off parts of a screen when capturing an image, on that part of the screen itself and take the shot, without the unnecessary need for post crop editing. Not to rag much on anything, but when I do screenshots, I usually wish to screenshot exactly what I need to with little effort in post editing, which is more of a preference than anything else here, but that's just me.)

Personally I'm considering out of sheer impatience, flushing the OS for a fresh reinstall if you ask me, but I'd prefer not to come to such a point so soon, and only as a last resort.

In Linux, the menu is not driven by what programs are installed, in the same way that Windows is. You can install a menu editor (if it isn't installed as standard) to turn off and on, which programs appear in the menu.

Lightscreen - I recommend that you read this page, as it tells you exactly how to do what you want to do, but with the standard, pre-installed screenshot software in Linux Mint Cinnamon 19. It then goes on to give you alternatives, if that doesn't suit you - https://linuxhint.com/screenshots_linux_mint_19/.

Because of the way that screen capture works, it is unlikely that Lightscreen will work 100% of the time. According to Winehq, which tracks which Windows software works on Wine, and if it does work, how well it works, it is marked as Bronze, which means it works "a bit" - https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManag...tion&iId=10443, though it hasn't been tested since version 1 (it's now version 2.4). There is actually a Linux version of lightscreen, though someone has tried to install it on Mint without success, as it has compatibility issues.

As to Wine, I repeat what I said before, that I would recommend PlayOnLinux. Wine, by itself, requires you to be pretty comfortable with Linux, to get it to work. Programs rarely work by just installing them, so you need to know what 'dependencies' to install, and how to install them. PlayOnLinux helps with that greatly. - It would be worth reading through the guides on their website, though to install it, you can do from your package/software manager. - https://www.playonlinux.com/en/
