Moved: This thread is more suitable in <Ubuntu> and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

Does it even start? Do other programs (preferably simple ones like notepad) work? Try to run
wine programname
You should get some more diagnostic, maybe even an error message.

First question what you're trying too install. Not all work you know.

Yeah, what are you trying to install? Look it up here for a future reference: http://appdb.winehq.org/
