By which I mean, install a package repository if you can like shown in the link in the previous post. This way, you'll automatically get any latest versions of Wine through the package manager rather than having to worry about them yourself. > > Also, when it's installed properly, you can open up a console, use the 'cd' command to go to your exe's directory, and use 'wine programname.exe' to start it. Opening the exe with Wine through your file manager works too, but you'll probably miss any warnings, errors or crashes that Wine spits out when your program won't work. Hmmm I'm not used to the console interface. I know this sounds basic but you could run through what you have to do? I'm using Ubuntu 9.04. I clicked Applications > Accessories > Terminal at the terminal screen I get username@computername-desktop:~$ I type cd and it repeats the same line. Am I already at the exe's directory? I'm not sure what I have to type, I don't want to mess up my system. I think I would type wine diablo II.exe Would there be a space inbetween wine and diablio II.exe?
