You could try apt-get install --reinstall wine
it seems to have installed but it has not appeared on my programs list....how do i get it running....
Perhaps it is just not listed in the menu. Did you try to start it on the command line? It is probably located in /usr/bin/wine
i have also tried this command: KHE:/home/zhe# dpkg -i wine_0.0.20030115-1.deb
You seem to try to install a very old version of wine.
dpkg: error processing wine_0.0.20030115-1.deb (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: wine_0.0.20030115-1.deb
Exists this deb file in /home/zhe/ ?
how do i get WINE running
The best way: Build it from source (or grab a current binary) from http://www.winehq.org/site/download! :-)
Building and installing from source is easy: just unpack the downloaded file (tar -xvzf Wine-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz) somewhere, cd there, run as a normal user "tools/wineinstaller" from there. At some point it will ask you for your root password. If you ever want to uninstall it, go to that directory and type (this time as user root) "make uninstall".

If you have a Windows executable called t.exe in the current directory then you just open a console and type "wine t.exe".
If you also installed binfmt than you can also just run t.exe and it will use wine to run it.
