I hope that makes sense!

Two things here:
1) Apps aren't installed to ~. ~ is $HOME which is /home/username/. Wine installs its apps in "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files" (which is "/home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files").

Try this to navigate to the path properly:

Code:
cd "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft/Office/"
wine PHOTODRAW.EXE


Including the quotes, and the path adapted to whatever location it's installed in.

Getting the app to install and run in the expected path like this *might* actually make it work.
