I installed wine:
Put source folder where it was looking for it.

Used:
chmod +x wine.SlackBuild
(worked fine)
then:
./wine.SlackBuild
It did a bunch of stuff and said Package Installation Complete or something after it finished. But I don't see where it installed it or anything. :O

Usually puts finished packages in /tmp. So, do:

root@darkstar:/tmp# installpkg wine-1.0_rc1-i486-1_SBo.tgz
Installing package wine-1.0_rc1-i486-1_SBo...
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
wine: wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator)
wine:
wine: Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API
wine: on top of X and Unix.
wine:
wine: Homepage: http://www.winehq.com/
wine:
Executing install script for wine-1.0_rc1-i486-1_SBo...

root@darkstar:/tmp#

That's what I did, it exited after the Executing install script.

Yeah, well, it's installed OK. Never used Wine (only the alcoholic stuff), so I don't know where you go from there.

You could try some search commands to find out where wine is located. Try:

whereis packagename

or

which packagename

Try man wine, or look in /usr/doc.

A Wine entry is made in the main menu (KDE anyway) as soon as you try to install a Windows program.
So, click on the install.exe and Wine will take it over from there.

If you want to run a Windows executable (like an installer, or just a stand-alone app) run `wine /path/to/program.exe`. It should be noted that you should run `winecfg` as your normal user to setup all of the options.

Can I run .msi files through wine? If so, how?

austinramsay@darkstar:~/Desktop$ dir
Austin/ Home.desktop System.desktop
Firefox\ Setup\ 2.0.0.14.exe SteamInstall.msi trash.desktop
austinramsay@darkstar:~/Desktop$ wine Firefox Setup 2.0.0.14.exe
wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\Firefox.exe": Module not found
austinramsay@darkstar:~/Desktop$

and

austinramsay@darkstar:~/Desktop$ wine SteamInstall.msi
wine: could not load L"Z:\\home\\austinramsay\\Desktop\\SteamInstall.msi": Bad EXE format for
austinramsay@darkstar:~/Desktop$

I can't find anything out on what's going wrong.

EDIT:

austinramsay@darkstar:~/Desktop$ wine msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi

That ran fine. But, what about the exe file?

Google is your friend (or should be). A quick search for "wine .msi" turned up this: http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Wine_MSI

Just running `msiexec` prints out a list of options. To install something, type `msiexec /i appname.msi` (it looks like the even simpler `msiexec appname.msi` might also work).

[edit]Why on earth would you want to run Firefox through WINE? A native (Linux) version of Firefox is included with Slackware. Try just running `firefox` from a terminal (or from your desktop environment's program menu -- in KDE, click the K, then Internet, then Firefox). For future reference though, the reason it isn't working is because of the space in the Firefox package's name. `wine "Firefox Setup 2.0.0.14.exe"` might do it (if not, `wine Firefox\ Setup\ 2.0.0.14.exe` would do the trick).[/edit]

Steam is installed, but I am not sure how to start it, I see an icon on my desktop that says Steam.Ink, and I try to use it, but I get an error saying:

Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder file:///mnt/winc//Program Files/Steam/Steam.exe does not exist.

Windows shortcuts don't work in Linux. Look and see if a .desktop file was created for you. If not, then you can make your own. Here is an example of one that I use.

Where do I enter that code at?

You don't have to. Try right clicking the KDE menu to add a desktop entry and then use the example I gave you to create your own Exec line. After it is created you can probably find the .desktop file (Linux "Shortut") under ~/.local/share/applications/
