Go to your Command Console and type in Wine and the the file name and location.. good example from a system I have:
#root: wine \home\fakewin\windows\paint.exe
Wine doesn't really emulate windows. It uses interpreters and the win32api to run win32 programs in a native Linux environment.
VMware is good but don't look for hardware acceleration through SDL, ALSA, X11, or other API sublayers.
Other than that read up at http://www.winehq.org and get on a WINE user forum and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Right-click the setup program, select "Open With", and go to "wine." If it is not listed, type "wine" into the window that appears. The setup program will now run.

wine doesn't support all windows program.( not an expert in wine)
I would suggest you use vmware in linux. Vmware allow to install windows operating system in it and you can install other window program to it...

A lot of Windows applications have a file called "setup.exe" that is used to install the actual application. So, if you have a file called "setup.exe" just run "wine setup.exe".
