I've been trying to install LinuxMint 14.1 and Wine on a Dell laptop. Took me a week of on and off effort to realize that the real instructions were in the fine print. Despite that, I did manage to get them both installed.
Now I'm having all sorts of trouble installing a Windows application. I've tried twice, using the applications setup.exe file. It goes through all of the proper setup stages, asking for this and that plus the serial number. When it's done, there isn't a single item loaded on the hard drive and the icon in the program list diappears when you click on it. Reading the instructions in the Wine user guide, page 8 has what seems to three or four different methods for installing Windows applications, and those instructions are just a bit cryptic. After two tries, I know that the first one of just using the setup.exe file does not work. So, how do you install a Windows application on a machine with LinuxMint and Wine installed when the application has a setup.exe file?
