Do I have to install it again? In general, yes - you install apps separately in Wine, just as if you were installing them afresh on Windows. Think of Wine as a version of Windows (which is what it tries to be, after all). People often think of trying to run their already-installed copy of a Windows app from Wine (accessing the Windows partition or whatever), but this is a really bad idea: (a) it often doesn't work (b) it often fouls up the installation of the app on the Windows partition! (Because Wine does many things its own way.) If an app's installed in Wine and everything's working, you can use the document files from the Windows partition just the same. But the app installation has to be separate. - d.
