Try wine --version just to set things up, and then wine notepad to start a simple app. If that works, then you need to do an install of your Windows app. Mount the cdrom, then cd /mnt/cdrom/XXX to whereever the install program is. (Usually called install.exe or setup.exe) Then tun wine install.exe and see if it works. In my experience you should look at the wineHQ App database before you do this and try installing something that's known to work.
