You don't. Wine is not a complete emulation of the windows desktop: it is 
a way to run windows apps on the X11 desktop.

So you now have to install your windows app (or try to), then you run it 
with 

wine --managed appname.exe

So how do you install them in the first place? well, install.exe is an 
appname too, right?

Don't bother trying to install MS Office, btw. Start with something more 
modest. Like notepad.exe
