You are trying to open the exe archive with the zip manager.

To open the exe archive with the Wine, right-click in the exe and then search to "Open With Wine" (or similar, I don't remember) or type in the terminal:

$ wine /home/midnight/Downloads/PWMYEN-1.61-Setup(Lite).exe

I don't know if you need to be root... In any cases, if that doesn't work:

$sudo su
# wine /home/midnight/Downloads/PWMYEN-1.61-Setup(Lite).exe

No you don't need to be root (which means, use sudo) and the app will install to ~/.wine/drive_c as normal. Running wine apps with sudo/gksudo is not advised.

So, thanks actionparsnip.

Elvis, don't use the
"$sudo su
# wine /home/midnight/Downloads/PWMYEN-1.61-Setup(Lite).exe",

use just the first.

"$ wine /home/midnight/Downloads/PWMYEN-1.61-Setup(Lite).exe"

That won't work, the brackets need escaping

wine /home/midnight/Downloads/PWMYEN-1.61-Setup\(Lite\).exe

sudo su is not to be used either, use;

sudo -i

I am a bit confused now...

I understood that the file you downloaded is a downloader for the game (Perfect World), right?
Or it is the complete installer?

Ok, if the file is a downloader, make sure that it is complete. Compair the size of the file with the expected. If it is correct, open it again. Else, download the downloader again.

If the file is the complete installer, probably the archive was corrupted. Maybe your internet connection was down while your download was occuring, and you don't downloaded it completely. You can resume your download using any download manager. I like the simple version, the wget. I supposed that you downloaded your program from "http://cdn02.gameier.com/download/pwmy/download/PWMYEN-1.61-Setup(Lite).exe". If I am wrong, replace it with your link. In a terminal, type:

$cd /home/midnight/Downloads
$wget -c "http://cdn02.gameier.com/download/pwmy/download/PWMYEN-1.61-Setup\(Lite\).exe"

Can you help with this problem?
