wine not found in installed program list

hi,

i don't read the Official Ubuntu Book, but i had never seen wine on the list of "run under another application", usually it appears on the top of the menu, when you right click an exe, dll, swf ... and other files.

of course you can always call wine from the command line,

#wine youraplication.exe

regards from Bolivia.

Thanks for the help. It is probably me but it didn't seem to help and
could be that I didn't provide the correct information. The list I was
looking in was the "Open with other application". What I am trying to
do is install a program called MyTrees. When I put the program CD in I
get four Icons on the screen, MyTrees.CD, MyTrees.CD1, MyTrees.CDX, and
ReadMe.Txt. I cann't get to the place to see the .exe file. With the
suggestion given me I pressed Alt+F2 bringing up what I thought was the
command line and typed in #wine readme.txt, and got "URL is not valid
and cannot be loaded", then #wine mytrees.cd1 and got The application
nautilus has quit unexpectedly with a icons to restart nautilus or
notify develolper, I chose restart and this didn't resolve porblem. I
am a total beginner with Linux my experience in in VM and DOS. Thank for
any help.

... for open a txt file with wine you have to do:

#wine notepad readme.txt

So, you are calling notepad inside wine, if you do something like "wine FILE" FILE would be always treated like a binary file (EXE's)

but please open the readme.txt with out using wine, and paste it on a next message.

i don't know the CD1 and CD2 file types, I think, it is a compress file for movies. You can try installing WinRar with wine (#wine setup.exe) and open the file with winrar "#wine winerar.exe MyTrees.CD"

Can yo tell me if you install your Application on windows, and how you did it?

Remember that wine open binaries files.

Regards and wish you luck.

I've never seen Wine be in that list, but you can type it into the little box at the bottom. What happens if you try that?

Once you have run one application under wine by using the method outlined (right click file, open with, other application, type wine in the box) it will then add an option to the right click menu to allow you to run further applications with wine by right clicking and choosing "open with wine".
