I went to the Wine HQ website & I did the step by step how to install wine on Ubuntu 9.10. This is the log from the terminal
Code:

Lot of questions about WINE... When I'm done I'm going to make a HOWTO so that others can do what I did It's hard work, but I'm nearly done.The last problem I'm having is the WINE menu on GNOME won't show up after a install of WINE from a .deb package (it usually does). This was after I compiled WINE from source and removed it with "make uninstall" and "rm -rf /.wine".So now I installed the WINE from a deb package and the Wine menu entry is not showing up.I've tried re-installing Wine and rebooting my PC but nothing seems to work.
How can I uninstall / purge wine and any wine installed windows programs?I've tried deleting .wine (hidden folder)but in /usr/bin/ there are a number of wine related files.And wine sub menu still appears in Applications menu
just had to redo my system and am trying to install my programs, yet ubuntu all of a sudden will NOT let me run exe programs in Wine? I needddd my Pokerstars installed, and since when did Ubuntu decide to go all net nanny on us?
Tried changing the permissions of the item and yes, it does say "allow executing file as program", it STILL won't let me, wtfff ... using ubuntu 10.4
I installed WINE to get some old games to work on my Ubuntu box. (Return to Castle Wolfenstein)I tried downloading some demos and it says BLOCKED: WINE START UNIX and to read the executable bit. I did, and it says it will NOT install any programs downloaded from the internet. I thought 'fine, I guess they have to be retail games' so I popped the disk in and it tells me the same thing. Any exe program I EVER try to install from anywhere is just BLOCKED: WINE START UNIX. Why is this happening?
how do i unblock (diablo 2 + lod) install.... when i try to open threw wine it says its blocked and im using an actull cd so its not curupted cd cuz i just installed on my 2nd pc which has windows XP on it
i tried it wont let me install it says an internal system error occurred refer to dxerror.log and directx.log in your windows folder to determine problem
i would like to run install disks via WINE, but there is a problem. the CD's are by default not executable, and the cd is read only, so when I try to change that I cant.
I would like to install uTorrent on WINE.Please don't ask why (or don't mention alternatives such as Azureus). I want to get it running on wine.When I double click the .exe file that I downloaded from the original file, nothing happens OR it gives me this message:It seems like uTorrent is already running, but not responding.
I use BabasChess 4.0 on my XP to play on freechess.org and would like to get it going on Ubuntu 9.10. I installed the latest stable version of wine 1.0.1.
I downloaded both the BabasChess 4 zip image and the file with the windows installer. Didn't have much luck with either. The zip image is the one that was mentioned by Babas as the way to go, but I couldn't see what to do with it when I extracted the files.
The windows setup.exe version installed but when attempting to launch the program it threw an error report window and crashed.
I tried hard to find some good documentation but everything seemed to assume more knowledge than I have. I managed to remove BabasChess and left wine hoping to start again.
while trying to get a game to work on wine I was surprised to find out that the wine version that ships with sid is 1.0.1 released in October 2005. So I installed the latest release I found at [URL] like this :
dpkg -i wine_1.1.42~winehq1-1_amd64.deb
The install failed, I think because I hadn't remove the old wine version, and that's when the joy-ride started. Impossible to remove wine to restart properly. (apt-get remove libwine wine and apt-get -f install didn't) After some googling I tried this :
This did install the wine version I wanted, and the game ran fine after that. However the result was a borked apt-get. Tried to remove wine again with the above commands, resulting in apt-get failing to do so because it tried installing wine-unstable and reported errors similar to these : E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'wine-unstable'. see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details.

maybe my questions sounds funny: i'm looking for a very small (or better as small as necessary) distro which runs in a virtual box an starts wine.The reason is: we have new laptops in my school runnig windows7 64bit home and we have some software which runs only on WinXP. So why not take a virtualbox wich runs wine to start the old Software?
Firstly, I'll say that I have scanned the internet far and wide and am not looking for the responses that many new linux users with an affinity for notepad++ almost invariably received... "use this linux based INE or this one or download plugins for this other one"... No, sir. I miss notepad++. I moved to linux land, (exiled from windows for having an expired VISA) and I'll do anything to get her to move here with me.
I downloaded the npp.5.8.5.Installer.exe... I have wine installed... I have no idea what directory or where in god's name this .exe exists or if i have to query wine or what.
I'm also going to want to install itunes as well. That's not as important, but if the commands are similar I figure I might as well aim to request the killing of two birds with one.

After installing I can see the Wine drop-down menu under the Applications, but every time I install something, updates etc. I can see this same error. How can this be fixed?
if I install some benchmarking utilities via WINE, should I expect inaccurate results? I know about other benchmarking apps such as phoronix, but there are so many more I want to use that are of the .exe nature.
I am running Easy Peasy 9.04 on an EeePC 901. I am trying to run Wine in order to install a wireless client for my university- they blocked Linux from ALL wireless because they have no one to support Linux (I.E only a windows client, no iPod or iPhone support, as they used to have). I want Wine to get me on the network while being able to work using Easy Peasy.
1. Will Wine allow me to use the wireless network in this way? When I try to install Wine, using the WineHQ guide [URL]...I have tried to "trust the repository", install Wine with sudo apt-get update and all other instructions. I just keep getting:
W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>
I have wine installed on Ubuntu 10.04. I am trying to get Quicken 2004 installed with the installation cd. I open the cd to go to the Install.exe file. Right click on the that file and tell it to: Open with wine windows program loader. I get the following window:The file '/media/QW04BASR1/install.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.Ok, I go to read about executable bit. Looks like I need to change the permission of it. Won't let me do it. Says:Sorry, could not change the permissions of "install.exe": Error setting permissions: Read-only file system Ok, look up and see that it is a read only. Click to change that to the only other option: Read & Write. What do I need to do here? I have never had this problem installing Quicken in wine before using previous versions of Ubuntu.
I did a fresh install of 10.04 ubuntu it seems to run fine. but I can't install MS software in wine it tells me that its blocked. This the message that i get:The file '/home/carl/Downloads/FW_V32_5_10_00_5054v2.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.I installed this same file in 9.10 with no problems and I tried another MS program that I installed in 9.10 using wine no problems.
I am using ubuntu 10.10, I installed wine in this and i tried to install windows application i.e. Total Commander and it's installed too. but I cant able to find where it has got installed. If i go to wine it's shows "wine configure" window. how to find out the installed programs in wine.
I can't remove through terminal, and I can't remove it manually. I tried just removing everything through winetricks, then removing everything through synaptic, but whenever I install from software center, I'm back to wine 1.3.19.
Is there any way to install uTorrent in linux mint 8 using wine. I tried the steps in the following link: "uTorrent under Ubuntu in 3 Easy Steps in softpedia" But when I complete the step-3 and double click uTorrent shortcut in the desktop nothing is happening.
I am a newbie to linux, my OS of choice is windows xp, my computers will not run windows 7 so as an alternative I am seriously thinking of changing to ubuntu after the windows support for xp finishes. with this in mind I have installed ubuntu 10.10 as a second OS on my pc. I like the speed, looks and ease of use of the OS. the only draw back is that I have a lot of windows applications that I run and sometimes beta test for a large british software company, I saw that a windows emulator was available (wine), downloaded, checked the documentation and the database, only to find the only software on the database was games. I have tried several applications (not games) only to get the error message "the file is not marked as executable". is there something I am missing or are they not supported by wine? and could all applications be supported in a future release?
