Normally that should not matter. It is not clear to me what error you are referring to. Does the installed program work?
No
Well, if you wanted to actually try to figure out what is wrong, you would want to post as much info as you can think of. Like in this case, seeing if the program appears to be installed; look at the installation directory, and maybe compare to a Windows installation. Always, info like Wine version, OS, and program name are useful. As are any messages printed by Wine.
Another question, how do I start the GUI front end for wine?
Err... GUI front end? ;)
winefile, found it?!
Oh well, I've been using Wine for almost 5 years and was unaware of winefile ;) There are probably several pieces in Wine I don't know about.
I've never found a program to work under wine, even as simple as notepad...
Then you have a fundamental problem on your system (assuming you are running Linux, and not something like BSD). As mentioned, I have been using Wine for 5 years. And that is with quite a few complex programs. For that entire period, I have been using it to run a half dozen or so engineering programs, along with the occasional "fun" program.
Since you provided no info, it is hard to guess what might be wrong. A fairly common problem when nothing works, is that you have parts of two different Wine installations around, and they are conflicting.
